HC Deb 19 May 1890 vol 344 c1290
MR. T. P. O'CONNOR

I wish to ask the hon. Member for Evesham (Sir R. Temple) whether he intends to-night to take a stage of the London School Board (Superannuation) Bill?

*SIR R. TEMPLE

I certainly shall if I possibly can.

MR. T. P. O'CONNOR

Will the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury grant any facilities for its discussion? It is strongly supported by the teachers, and the opposition to it is rapidly diminishing.

*MR. W. H. SMITH

Certainly, Sir; if the House passes our measure we shall be very pleased.

MR. T. P. O'CONNOR

As the opposition now comes almost solely from the hon. Member for Wigan (Mr. F. S. Powell), will the right hon. Gentleman use his influence with his supporters to induce him to let the Bill pass?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

I will make inquiries on the subject.
