§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. ILLINGWORTH (Bradford, W.)asked, had the Government any expectation that it would be possible to proceed with this Bill before the Recess? It would be necessary to have the Bill discussed, and there were some very wide questions to be raised in connection with it. Would it not be preferable to defer the Bill until the Autumn, if, indeed, it was not desirable to withdraw it for the Session?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)said, he was not in a position to give the hon. Member the information he asked for.
§ Second Reading deferred till Monday next.
