§ In reply to Sir JOSEPH PEASE (Durham, Barnard Castle).
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)said, he wished to arrange, if possible, for the consideration of this measure at a time which would be most convenient to hon. Members. He understood that it was the desire of hon. Gentlemen to discuss its provisions on going into Committee. The Government would endeavour to arrange for a time convenient to hon. Members; and until such arrangement was made the Bill would not be brought forward.
