HC Deb 28 April 1890 vol 343 cc1630-1

2."That a sum, not exceeding £17,640, be granted to Her Majesty, to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1891, for the Expenses of Various Services (other than Consular) in connection with the Suppression of the Slave Trade, and the Expenses of the Liberated African Department."

SIR G. CAMPBELL&c.) (Kirkcaldy,

A discussion arose in Committee upon this Vote on a very important question: contract labour; but you, Sir, on the Motion regarding the Steamship Companies, ruled the discussion out of order. Does this ruling apply to the whole Vote?

MR. DEPUTY SPEAKER

I do not think I ever allowed it. It is quite out of order.

Resolution agreed to.
