§ MR. MITCHELL HENRYasked the Prime Minister, Whether, considering the immense importance of the National Debt Bill to the taxpayers of the United Kingdom, he would undertake that due Notice should be given of the Motion for the second reading, and that it should be made the first Order of the Day?
MR. GLADSTONEsaid, he would promise that due Notice should be given of the second reading; but he was afraid that, in the present state of Public Business, he could not give a pledge that the Bill would be taken as the first Order.
