HC Deb 10 December 1888 vol 331 c1613

In reply to the LORD MAYOR of DUBLIN (Mr. Sexton) (Belfast, W.),

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

said, he was not sure that the evidence taken before this Committee would be printed before Thursday; but if it was printed on Thursday he proposed to consider the Report on that day.

MR. JOHN MORLEY (Newcastle-upon-Tyne)

Will the consideration of the Privilege Report be taken as the first Order on Thursday?

MR. W. H. SMITH

I apprehend that if it is put down on Thursday it must be taken as the first Order. However, I will communicate with the right hon. Gentleman opposite before that day.
