HC Deb 05 April 1881 vol 260 c770
MR. MONK

asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether it will be in his power to introduce the proposed Bill to amend the Law of Bankruptcy before the Easter Recess?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

, in reply, said, he was extremely anxious to be able to introduce the Bill before Easter, in order that its provisions might be considered by the House and the country during the Recess. He was afraid that would only be possible if the House would be willing, as he hoped it might be, to take a Morning Sitting on Friday. If that should be the pleasure of the House, then it would be necessary formally to make a Motion for the introduction of the Bill on Thursday night. That would be made without debate; the Motion would be adjourned, and then it would become the Order of the Day on Friday morning.
