HC Deb 22 July 1889 vol 338 c1068

Order for Committee read.

SIR W. LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)

Why not put the Order down for a day when there is some likelihood of its being taken?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover Square

There are very few contested points. I trust the House will agree to make progress with the Bill now. There is only one clause which is seriously contested, namely, Clause 15, and when we reach that I would consent to report Progress. There are many small grievances which it is very desirable should be redressed without delay.

MR. H. H. FOWLER (Wolverhampton, East)

I agree with the right hon. Gentleman that it is most desirable that the concessions should be embodied in the law as soon as possible, and I would suggest it would be well if it could be arrang ed to take the Bill some night about 11 o'clock.

Order postponed till to-morrow.
