HC Deb 09 November 1888 vol 330 c773
SIR ROPER LETHBRIDGE (Kensington, N.)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, in view of the fact that the whole time of the House has been placed at the disposal of Her Majesty's Government, any opportunity will be afforded to a private Member this Session to raise a discussion on the Report of the Select Committee on the affairs of the Hyderabad (Deccan) Mining Company?

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

, in reply, said, he was aware of the interest which attached to the Report of the Select Committee, and to the Report of the Currency Commission, especially the latter, which was of vast importance to the country at large; but the time at the disposal of the Government during these Sittings had been placed at their disposal for Public Business of a limited character, and they would not be justified in giving a place to anything that was not urgently necessary. He hoped an opportunity would be found for the discussion of these matters next Session.
