HC Deb 03 August 1871 vol 208 c776
SIR DAVID WEDDERBURN

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is his intention now to withdraw the two Mines Regulation Bills; and, whether he does not consider that a fair opportunity of discussing and passing them may be afforded by the proposed Session of Parliament in October?

MR. BRUCE

Undoubtedly, a very fitting opportunity for discussing these measures will be afforded should an Autumn Session be held, and I shall not discharge the Orders until that question has been settled.
