§ SIR DAVID WEDDERBURNasked 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. BRUCEUndoubtedly, 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.
