HC Deb 10 May 1875 vol 224 cc393-4
MR. KAVANAGH

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, having regard to the deep interest felt in Ireland on the subject of closing public houses on Sunday, and to the circumstances under which the test of a Division was prevented on Wednesday last, he will afford an opportunity by fixing some day for the resumption of the Debate, of having the Question brought to a direct issue?

MR. DISRAELI

I am quite of opinion, Sir, with the hon. Member for Carlow as to the desirability of taking the opinion of the House on the Bill; but I am not at the present moment in a position to fix any day whatever upon which the opinion of the House may be taken. I would venture to suggest that hon. Gentlemen on both sides who take a deep interest in the question should confer together and endeavour to arrive at some satisfactory arrangement.
