§ MR. FAWCETTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he can inform the House when the Bill relating to the Water Supply of London will be introduced?
MR. ASSHETON CROSSSir, I had hoped to be able to give a definite answer to the hon. Member's Question, but the arrangements are not yet completed. When they are, I propose to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to give me a day for the introduction of the Bill.
§ MR. FAWCETTasked, Whether, considering the great pecuniary interests involved, and the speculations that were taking place in shares, the right hon. Gentleman would so make his arrangements as to prevent some people from obtaining information before others, and whether he would cause the Bill to be ready for circulation immediately after it was printed?
MR. ASSHETON CROSSSir, I have already arranged with the Chancellor of the Exchequer that, whatever day he may allow me for the introduction of the Bill, it shall be in the hands of Members.
