HC Deb 21 July 1881 vol 263 c1591

Order for Committee read.

MR. PELL

said, would it not be more convenient to take a later day than Monday for the Bill? It was understood that, after the Land Bill, Supply would be proceeded with, and the Transvaal question came on for discussion on Monday. There were a great many objections to the Bill, and it had been blocked by Notices of opposition. Would it not be better to put it down for a day when there would be some probability of it being reached?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

said, the Bill would be put down for Monday, not with any intention or expectation of its being taken then, but simply because it was a more convenient method of dealing with the Orders.

MR. PELL

said, if hon. Members had the assurance of that, there was no objection.

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

said, he could give that assurance.

Committee deferred till Monday next.
