HC Deb 11 June 1888 vol 326 cc1715-6
MR. HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, If the Bill for the appointment of a Public Trustee and Executor proposed to be brought in by the Government is now ready, and when it will be introduced?

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

said: Until further progress has been made with Public Business, especially with reference to Bills already sent down from the House of Lords, it is impossible to say when the Government will be able to introduce the Trustee Bill in that House.

In reply to Mr. HANBURY (Preston) and Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE (Bradford, Central),

MR. W. H. SMITH

said, that he hoped it would not be necessary to interrupt the progress of the Local Government (England and Wales) Bill this week in order to take the Army Esti- mates or other Votes in Supply. He would, however, state positively the course the Government would take tomorrow.
