HC Deb 10 May 1875 vol 224 cc397-8
MR. WHALLEY

complained that Ways and Means had been brought on instead of Supply on Friday night.

MR. W. H. SMITH

explained that the Standing Orders provided for either Order being taken first, and he had taken that which was in accordance with the generally expressed wish of the House.

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

Sir, as I understand the right hon. Gentleman, the Peace Preservation Bill is to be proceeded with to-night, that in any case there will be a Morning Sitting tomorrow, and that on Thursday the third reading of the Peace Preservation Bill will be taken, I rise to ask the right hon. Gentleman, What other business will be taken on Thursday next?

MR. DISRAELI

Sir, the Land Titles and Transfer Bill. With regard to the Peace Preservation Bill, my wish is to take the Report this evening and read the Bill a third time to-morrow morning. That would very much facilitate Public Business, and then we could make arrangements generally satisfactory to the House; but until that Bill is passed it will be impossible to make any definite statement.
