§ MR. VILLIERS STUARTasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, having in view the importance of rendering effective the Legislation passed by the present Parliament for the benefit of the Irish labourers, Her Majesty's Government will bring forward the Labourers (Ireland) (No. 2) Bill for Second Beading before the Whitsuntide Recess?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI should be glad if an opportunity presented itself for taking the second reading of this Bill before Whitsuntide; but I confess I see at present little prospect of such an opportunity.
