HC Deb 03 July 1883 vol 281 cc314-5

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Dr. Lyons.)

MR. R. N. FOWLER

asked the hon. Member when he proposed to take the Committee stage? He believed this was a Bill very generally accepted, and that there was no opposition to its principle; but he, in common with many hon. Members, had received a number of papers, which seemed to indicate that to one clause in the Bill much exception was taken.

DR. LYONS

said, this was not the Bill to which the hon. Gentleman referred—this was not the Bill affecting medical men. It was a Bill for a special purpose—for giving the Royal University of Ireland power to do that which its predecessor, the Queen's University, did—to nominate to the Medical Coun- cil. It was a very simple Bill of one clause.

Motion agreed to.

Bill read a second time, and committed for To-morrow.

House adjourned at half after One o'clock.
