HC Deb 18 July 1889 vol 338 cc733-4
MR. ESSLEMONT (Aberdeen, E.)

I wish to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government intend to re-introduce the Burgh Police and Health (Scotland) Bill next Session; and if so, whether they have any intention to proceed with it as a Government measure?

* MR. W. H. SMITH

I cannot enter into engagements for next Session.

MR. ESSLEMONT

The right hon. Gentleman has made several statements about the Bill this Session and last.

* MR. W. H. SMITH

If I have done so, it is a sufficient reason for not doing so again.
