HC Deb 14 February 1890 vol 341 c305
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, if he can give an assurance that sufficient opportunity will be given for explaining and discussing the West Australian Bill before the House is asked to read it a second time, and that it will not be taken late at night?

BARON H. DE WORMS

Proper notice will be given, and due time allowed for discussion; but I hope that as it has been agreed, in accordance with the promise given last Session, that the Bill shall be referred to a Select Committee, where the question of the land which has excited so much interest in the House can be thoroughly considered—a lengthened discussion on the Second Reading may be found unnecessary.
