HC Deb 24 May 1880 vol 252 c326
MR. RITCHIE

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, If Her Majesty's Government propose to deal with the question of the Metropolitan Water Supply within the present Session; and, if so, when a proposition on the subject will be laid before the House?

MR. GLADSTONE

Will the hon. Member kindly postpone this Question for three or four days? If he will put it again on Thursday or Friday, I shall, perhaps, be better able to answer him.
