HC Deb 19 March 1888 vol 323 cc1749-50

Order for Second Reading read.

MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)

asked, would he be in Order in moving the adjournment?

MR. SPEAKER

said, it would not be in Order to interpolate that Motion on the reading of the Orders of the Day.

Second Reading deferred till Thursday.

MR. T. M. HEALY

said, he would now make the Motion for Adjournment, in order to remind the Government that an engagement had been given that no contentious Business would be taken at a Morning Sitting. He was not quite sure whether the next stage of the Parliamentary Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Bill came within that category. It might save time to have a reply.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."—(Mr. T. M. Healy.)

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

said, the Bill to which the hon. and learned Gentleman referred would not be taken at the Morning Sitting on the morrow.

MR. T. M. HEALY

said, he would not press his Motion.

Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
