§ MR. LABOUCHEREwished to ask a Question of the Speaker with respect to the Rules of the House. Yesterday he handed in blocking Notices with regard to 10 Bills intended to be introduced that evening. Not seeing them on the Paper, he inquired and found that they had been omitted by a mistake of the printer. He wished to ask whether, considering that the printer had not made the same mistake with regard to a Bill he had given Notice of, he would have a right of reciprocity?
§ MR. SPEAKERIt is perfectly true that through an inadvertence of the printer the mistake has been made to which the hon. Member refers. I am bound to say that the Notice given by the hon. Member was transmitted to the printer in a very incomplete form, and I am not much surprised at the printer not having understood it. No Notice of opposition appearing through this accident on the Paper, of course the Notice of opposition will have no vitality, and the Business will proceed in the usual way.
