HC Deb 06 August 1888 vol 329 c1818

Order for Second Reading read.

Objection taken.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY, WAR DEPARTMENT (Mr. BRODRICK) (Surrey, Guildford)

said, he had conferred with the hon. Member for Bethnal Green and others who had opposed the Bill, and they had consented to serve on the Select Committee to which it was proposed to send the Bill during the Autumn Session. He hoped the House would now allow the second reading to be taken.

DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)

said, he had great pleasure in hearing the hon. Gentleman's statement, but still he must persist in his objection.

Second Reading deferred till To-morrow.
