PARLIAMENT—MONEY BILLS—THE HALF PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK RULE—PENSIONS TO LORD ALCESTER AND LORD WOLSELEY.

HC Deb 20 April 1883 vol 278 c749

MR. LABOUCHERE

expressed a hope that as the Bills conferring pensions on Lords Alcester and Wolseley were Money Bills, and therefore did not come under the Half-past 12 o'clock Rule, the Bills would be taken at a convenient hour.

MR. GLADSTONE

said, that the hon. Member was right, and some Amendments had been put down for the Committee stage, which he hoped to avoid taking at a late hour.
