HC Deb 09 March 1871 vol 204 c1668
MR. HEADLAM

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, When the Bills on the Courts of Justice and Appeal, mentioned in Her Majesty's most gracious Speech at the commencement of the Session, will be introduced; and, whether, if it be intended to introduce them into the other House of Parliament, they will be pressed forward without delay so as to give this House full time for the consideration of them?

MR. BRUCE

said, in reply, that the Bills were in a forward state of preparation, and it was the present intention of the Government that they should be introduced by the Attorney General at an early date; but that must depend upon the state of Public Business. He would promise, however, that if the Bills were introduced in the House of Lords, such progress should be made as would afford the House of Commons ample time to consider them.
