HC Deb 12 February 1884 vol 284 cc678-9
MR. THOMAS DICKSON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, When he proposes to introduce the Sunday Closing Bill for Ireland referred to in the Speech from the Throne?

MR. TREVELYAN

I propose tomorrow to ask leave of the House to introduce this Bill.

MR. HEALY

said, that, as a matter of fact, the Education Bill preceded the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday (Ireland) Bill in the Queen's Speech, and why should not the same order and priority be maintained?

MR. TREVELYAN

said, he was not aware that the order in which the Bills were mentioned in the Queen's Speech was any guidance or rule for the introduction of measures to the House. Over and over again he had stated that the order he now proposed to adopt would be the order in which the measures would he introduced to the House.
