HC Deb 09 May 1879 vol 246 c19
MR. THOMSON HANKEY

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, When the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill was to be taken? It was on the Paper for Monday, but it had not yet been printed, and so it would be very inconvenient to go on with it so soon.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

, in reply, said, he was disappointed to find that the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill was not in the hands of hon. Members to-day. He believed it was owing to some technical error in the title or some clause that the Bill had not been distributed among hon. Members to-day. It would be in their hands to-morrow. He had put it down for Monday with the hope of bringing it on then; but if it was not convenient to bring it on then, it would be postponed to some other day.
