HC Deb 29 February 1884 vol 285 c239
MR. WARTON

wished to call attention to the subject of Wednesday's Sittings, which were often occupied in the discussion of Bills about which nobody eared twopence. The House was often not made until half-past 12, and he had taken part in keeping Members out of the House to prevent a House being made, as hon. Members seemed to care much more for their own Private Bills than for the finances of the country on questions of taxation. A limit should be fixed; and if hon. Members were not present in sufficient numbers—say by half-past 12 or 1 o'clock on Wednesdays—the House should stand adjourned.
