HC Deb 27 May 1878 vol 240 cc747-8
MR. DILLWYN

asked the hon. Member for Hackney, Whether it was his intention to proceed to-night with the Motion of which he had given Notice in reference to the movement of the Indian troops?

MR. FAWCETT

could assure the hon. Member and the House that he was most anxious to call attention to the very important financial question raised; but he understood his hon. Friend the Member for Kirkcaldy (Sir George Campbell) intended to proceed with his Motion first. Therefore, he (Mr. Fawcett) would be precluded from going to a division; and as he did not wish simply to move his Resolution, but desired to have the vote of the House upon it, he was compelled to postpone it for the present. If no earlier opportunity presented, he would move it on the Indian Budget.
