HC Deb 21 February 1871 vol 204 cc589-90
MR. DISRAELI

Sir, I wish to ask a Question with reference to the Elections Bill, which has been set down for the second reading on Monday next. It is not yet in the hands of hon. Members, and it would be convenient that they should have further time to consider its details. There is a great deal of other business on the Paper for Monday, and therefore I hope Her Majesty's Government will not proceed with the second reading of the measure on that day?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

The Elections Bill will be delivered to-morrow. And I should hope, under those circumstances, that the House will not object to proceed with the second reading of the measure on the day already fixed for taking it.

Moved, "That the House, at rising, do adjourn till To-morrow at Two o'clock.—(Mr. Gladstone.)

Motion agreed to.
