HC Deb 23 March 1882 vol 267 c1783
MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

hoped the House would allow him. to introduce a Bill for the acquisition of property and the provision of new buildings for the Admiralty and War Office, and to defer an explanation of it until a future stage.

Motion made, and Question proposed, That leave be given to bring in a Bill for the acquisition of property and the provision of new buildings for the Admiralty and War Office."—(Mr. Shaw Leferre.)

MR. HEALY

pointed out that if the Irish Members had continued the last debate the Government would have counted them. When, however, their own Business was to be done the Government kept a House. Irish Representatives had just ground of complaint.

MR. R. POWER

said, he did not intend to do so; but if he did oppose the introduction of the Bill he would be quite justified. He found that the hon. Member for Sligo had two Notices on the Paper, and both were opposed by the Government Whips.

Motion agreed to.

Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE and Lord FREDERICK CAVENDISH.

Bill presented, and read the first time. [Bill 111.]

House adjourned at a quarter after Two o'clock.
