§ MR. LIDDELLasked, Whether the Mines Regulation Bill will be proceeded with at the close of the Committe on the Scotch Education Bill, in accordance with the understanding already come to?
MR. GLADSTONEsaid, he would prefer not to bind himself to that; it would be necessary to look at the Bill and see how long it would take.
§ MR. ASSHETON CROSSsaid, he must ask for some assurance that the Government positively intended to go on with the Bill?
MR. GLADSTONEsaid, unquestionably, as far as they were capable of forming an absolute determination.
