§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACHasked the Secretary of State for India, Whether he could state on what day it would be possible to take the second reading of the Corrupt Practices (Disfranchisement) Bill? It was a Bill on which it was obviously necessary that there should be considerable discussion; and he thought it was also desirable that before long that discussion should take place. He did not know that it was possible for the Government to say when the Bill would be taken; but he hoped they would be able to say that it would be before a certain day.
