HC Deb 05 April 1886 vol 304 c897

Order for Committee read.

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. BRYCE) (Aberdeen, S.)

I beg to move, Sir, that you leave the Chair. I do not propose to go on with the clauses of the Bill at this hour of the night; but if the House goes into Committee, I will immediately move to report Progress. The Bill in its present state is exactly the same as was passed by the House of Lords last year, and was brought down to this House and read a second time. It is exactly in the form of the previous measure.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair."

Motion agreed to.

Bill considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Committee report Progress; to sit again upon Thursday.
