HC Deb 24 February 1876 vol 227 c819
MR. MARK STEWART

asked the hon. Member for Bedford, Whether it was intentional on his part or by inadvertence that the second Resolution which appeared in his name in the Notices of Motion on Tuesday morning was not the same as the substantive Motion submitted by him to the House on Tuesday evening, and whether any Notice was given by him of his intention to withdraw the second Resolution?

MR. WHITBREAD

Sir, the Notice which I gave consisted of two portions, one a Resolution and the other for an Address to the Crown. The Resolution will have to be submitted first according to the usual practice. It was not intended upon my part, but by some accident that the second portion of my Motion for an Address to the Crown did not appear in the first Paper issued for today; but the hon. Member will see that in the amended Paper the full Motion is properly stated.
