HC Deb 28 May 1878 vol 240 cc835-6
MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, When the County Government Bill which stood for Thursday next, would be proceeded with? The Bill had been so frequently postponed that it might as well be put out of its misery at once.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER,

in reply, said, he did not exactly know what the right hon. Gentleman meant by these expressions; but it was certainly necessary for the Government to proceed with Supply, and it was their intention to go on with Supply on Thursday. In all probability he should propose a Morning Sitting on Friday for the same purpose.
