HC Deb 20 March 1888 vol 323 cc1792-3
MR. HOWELL (Bethnal Green, N.E.)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, in the event of the Statute Law Revision Bill (House of Lords), and the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Bill (House of Lords), being sent to the Commons on an early day, the Government will endeavour to pass those measures into law before the Easter Recess, so as to enable the Statute Law Committee to proceed with the publication of the Revised Edition of the Statutes?

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

With the assistance of the House, the Government will be glad to see the Statute Law Revision Bill and the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Bill passed before Easter, so that the Revised Edition of the Statutes can be published with the least possible delay.
