HC Deb 01 June 1874 vol 219 c752
SIR GEORGE BOWYER

said, seeing the hon. Member for North Warwickshire in his place, he wished to ask him a Question. The hon. Member had moved for a Return from Foreign Countries on Monastic Institutions which the Government had consented to give on certain conditions. Having regard to this Return, he wished to ask, whether the hon. Member intends to proceed with his Bill to-morrow night on the same subject?

MR. NEWDEGATE

, in reply, said, that it was not his fault that the information respecting the Laws relating to Monastic and Conventual Institutions was not already in the hands of Members. Inasmuch as the Monastic and Conventual Bill was for inquiry, nothing could be more appropriate than that the Commissioners to be appointed under the Bill should consider the substance of the information which would be furnished by the Returns to which the hon. Baronet referred. He should certainly proceed with the Bill to-morrow.
