HC Deb 05 July 1883 vol 281 c480

In answer to a Question from Mr. CAVENDISH BENTINCK,

MR. GLADSTONE

said, that the Government desired, if possible, that night to close the adjourned debate on going into Committee on this Bill, and to get into Committee, when Progress would be immediately reported.

VISCOUNT FOLKESTONE

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman proposed to proceed with the Ballot Continuance Bill before the Agricultural Holdings Bill?

MR. GLADSTONE

said, he did not. He only wished to close the adjourned debate on going into Committee on the Ballot Bill.

SIR H. DEUMMOND WOLFF

asked when the Government intended to proceed with the Representative Peers (Scotland) Bill?

MR. GLADSTONE

I hope the hon. Gentleman will allow the matter to stand over until Monday, when I will mention it along with various other measures.
