HC Deb 24 February 1876 vol 227 c817
THE O'DONOGHUE

asked the honourable and learned Member for Limerick, If he proposes to take any steps to induce the Government to give, for the Second Reading of the Land Tenure (Ireland) Bill, a day upon which its provisions can be fully discussed, with the natural conclusion of a division upon the main Question?

MR. BUTT

, in reply, said, that having been singularly fortunate in the ballot, he had been able to fix the second reading for Wednesday, March 29. He was disposed to answer the Question by asking another. What steps did the hon. Member think he should take? To ask the Prime Minister to give up a Government day was one which ought not to be made without the strongest reason.
