§ Committee deferred till To-morrow.
§ MR. MARJORIBANKSMay I ask when it is really intended to take this Bill? I have come down hero to-day at great inconvenience, because I thought it was especially arranged that the measure should be taken to-night. I hope the Government will take it upon an early day, as it is obviously very inconvenient for hon. Members to be kept up here night after night expecting it to come on.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE BOARD OF TRADE (Baron HENRY DE WORMS)My intention was to take it to-day; but it was pointed out to me that it would be necessary to have the Amendments printed, as otherwise great confusion would be caused. I am, however, anxious that the Bill should be brought forward as early as possible. I would ask hon. Members not to burden the Paper with Amendments if they desire to see the Bill carried to a successful issue.
§ MR. WILLIAMSONAre there any other Amendments on the Paper besides mine?
§ THE SECRETARY (Baron HENRY DE WORMS)Yes; there are other Amendments besides those of the hon. Member.
§ MR. WILLIAMSONI think I may say that there will be no difficulty in disposing of mine.
