§ MR. ISAACS (Newington, Walworth)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether Her Majesty's Government are prepared to afford facilities for discussing the Metropolis Local Government Bill, or for dealing with the subject?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster), in reply, said, that he greatly regretted that the hon. Member had been unable to secure time on the previous day for the discussion of the Metropolis Local Government Bill; but he would perceive from the state of Public Business that the Government were unable to afford facilities for the discussion of a subject which was of such importance that it required to be taken up by the Government of the day. He hoped to be able in a short time to state the views of Her Majesty's present Government upon the matter.
