HC Deb 02 May 1879 vol 245 c1673

Order for Second Reading read.

MR. DILLWYN

said, he was one of those who thought that it ought to be a Standing Rule of the House that no Bill should be read a second time which had not been printed. He remembered a case in which a Bill introduced in this way had been read a second time, and which, having been sent to the House of Lords, had been the cause of considerable difficulty.

MR. A. F. EGERTON

replied, that he had seen the Bill in print, and that it would be circulated on Monday.

Second Reading deferred till Monday next.
