HC Deb 13 August 1883 vol 283 c282
SIR JOSEPH M'KENNA

I beg to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, in face of the many Amendments set down to the National Debt Bill from all quarters of the House, he will persist in going into Committee on it?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS),

in reply, said, that Amendments had been put on the Paper already. Considering the discussion which had taken place on the second reading, and the large majority by which it had been carried, he should not feel justified in withdrawing the Bill from consideration to-night.
