HC Deb 03 September 1880 vol 256 c1191
MR. A. M. SULLIVAN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he would be good enough to give him, as an unopposed Return, a list showing the various Public Bills in each Session since 1800 passed by the House of Commons and rejected by the House of Lords, the Bills passed by the House of Lords and rejected by the House of Commons, and the number of Bills originated in the two Houses?

MR. W. E. FORSTER,

in reply, said, the Return would probably take a year to prepare, and would comprise a volume of 800 to 1,000 pages, and would require immense inquiry by the clerks. He thought, therefore, he might say there was not sufficient reason for such a Return.
