§ MR. CLARE READasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, What decision Her Majesty's Government have come to with reference to the progress of the County Government Bill after Easter; and, whether it will take precedence of other Government Bills now before the House?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, the first Business after Easter would be Supply. It would be necessary to get some Votes in Supply. But, with that exception, there was no Bill to which he should give precedence over the County Government Bill. It was the one which Government would desire to promote and press forward as rapidly as possible.
