§ MR. RADCLIFFE COOKE (Newington, W.)asked the hon. Member for Hanley, Whether it his intention to proceed to the Parliamentary Franchise (Extension to Women) Bill this Session?
§ MR. WOODALL (Hanley), in reply, said, that he had naturally desired to take the sense of the new Parliament 71 upon the question, and had been relying upon the promise, guarded and qualified as it was, of the First Lord of the Treasury to give him an opportunity. He now understood from the right hon. Gentleman that there was little chance of his being able to satisfy that expectation; and, under the circumstances, he thought he should be best consulting the convenience of the House by moving to-morrow that the Order for the second reading be discharged.
