HC Deb 05 August 1887 vol 318 c1379
MR. LYELL (Orkney and Shetland)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether the Conveyancing (Scotland) Acts Amendment Bill will be taken on Wednesday next?

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

, in reply, said, the Bill would have been put down for Wednesday if the Government had had the slightest hope of being able to carry it; but it was threatened with such serious opposition on both sides of the House that he was afraid they should be obliged to withdraw the Bill.
