HC Deb 06 March 1883 vol 276 c1609
SIR R. ASSHETON CROSS

asked the President of the Board of Trade, with reference to a Notice of Motion on this subject standing in his name, Whether it would be brought on that night?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

, in reply, said, he felt it would probably be inconvenient that a matter of so much importance should be left uncertain, and he would undertake that it should not be brought forward that night.
