HC Deb 13 May 1889 vol 335 cc1947-8

Question put," That the second reading of the Sugar Conventions Bill be deferred till the 20th of June."

MR. T. M. HEALY

I should think that some notice ought to be given of the proposal. I think it might stand till to-morrow.

*THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD of TRADE (Sir M. HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.

This Motion is made in accordance with what my right hon. Friend stated this evening, that the Bill would not be taken before Whitsuntide.

MR. T. M. HEALY

I should like to know what is the exact period after Whitsuntide to which it is proposed to be postponed.

*SIR M. HICKS BEACH

Till the 20th of June.

Question again put, and agreed to.

House adjourned at ten minutes before One o'clock.
