MR. J. STEWART

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, When the Report of the Select Committee and the Evidence on the Merchant Seamen Bill will be placed in the hands of Members?

MR. E. STANHOPE

, in reply, said, the Minutes of Proceedings would be ready in a few days, the Evidence not for some little time. The Bill was on the Paper for Thursday; but, of course, it could not be taken until hon. Members had had time to consider the Evidence.
