HC Deb 10 August 1887 vol 318 c1955
MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen, S.)

Considering the very great and unanimous interest felt by Scotch Members in the Question, perhaps the First Lord of the Treasury will state what the Government propose in regard to the Conveyancing Acts Amendment Bill.

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

said, he hoped the Government would be able to press on with the measure. With regard to the course of business he might say that they proposed, unless objection was raised, to consider the Lords' Amendments to the Irish Land Bill at a quarter past 4 on Friday. With respect to the Coal Mines Bill Her Majesty's Government adhered to the arrangement already made.

In reply to Mr. MUNDELLA,

MR. W. H. SMITH

said, that owing to the pressing importance of the Land Bill the arrangement with respect to the education debate could not stand. They would go on with the Estimates on Saturday, but it would be inconvenient to take the Education Estimate then. He should endeavour to make another arrangement.
