HC Deb 26 July 1887 vol 318 c51
DR. CLARK (Caithness)

asked, whether it was the intention of the Government to proceed to-night with the consideration of the Lords' Reasons for disagreeing with the Commons' Amendment to this Bill; and, if so, at what time?

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

said, he hoped the Bill might be taken to-night; but he could not say at what time it would be taken.

DR. CLARK

said, it was a very pressing measure, and unless it was passed soon it was of no use whatever.

MR. W. H. SMITH
