HC Deb 06 May 1890 vol 344 cc250-1
MR. MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

Will the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury state at what time the Second Reading of the India Council Bill be taken? Will it be taken before Whitsuntide?

*THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH,) Strand, Westminster

It is impossible for me to say at the present moment when the Bill will be taken. I will endeavour to give ample notice, and I may assure the hon. Member that, at all events, a few days' notice will be given.
