HC Deb 26 June 1884 vol 289 c1431
SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, What facilities he will afford to the Member for Portsmouth for bringing forward the Motion of which he has given Notice?

MR. GLADSTONE

I assume that we shall dispose at once of the third reading of the Franchise Bill; and upon that assumption we shall be prepared to place Monday at the disposal of the hon. Gentleman. We have anticipated that, under the circumstances of the case, the House would certainly not be satisfied with conducting a debate of that kind except from day to day.
