HC Deb 04 August 1887 vol 318 c1312

[ADJOURNED DEBATE.)

MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I would ask what course the Government intend to adopt with regard to this Bill? I have given Notice of a block, and I intend to keep on the block; and unless the Government are prepared to take it before half-past 12 o'clock, it would be better to move to discharge the Order.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

We are not willing to undertake the responsibility of discharging the Order; but, under the present circumstances, we are unable to bring it on before half-past 12 o'clock, and I therefore prefer, for the present, to keep it on the Paper.

Adjourned Debate on going into Committee [11th July] further adjourned, till Monday next.
