HC Deb 06 April 1886 vol 304 c918
MR. SERJEANT SIMON (Dewsbury)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether he will afford facilities for proceeding with the Oaths Bill, seeing that it was second on the paper on Tuesday the 23rd March, and would have been reached but that a Bill, the Irish Land (Labourers) Bill, was unexpectedly taken?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENBY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)

(who replied) said: The Prime Minister desires me to state that in the present state of Business he can hold out no hope that he will be able to afford facilities for proceeding with the Oaths Bill.
