HC Deb 24 July 1877 vol 235 cc1740-1
MR. E. JENKINS

asked the honourable Member for Lanarkshire, Whether he can see his way to facilitate the passing of the Roads and Bridges (Scotland) Bill, by withdrawing any portion of the 77 Amendments put down in his name?

SIR WINDHAM ANSTRUTHER

, in reply, said, he had carefully considered the Bill, and its inherent defects rendered the Amendments he had laid on the Table, in his judgment, absolutely necessary. Consequently, he regretted he could not withdraw any portion of those Amendments.
