HC Deb 23 May 1890 vol 344 cc1686-7
MR. A. C. CORBETT (Glasgow, Tradeston)

I beg to ask whether the Government have any further information regarding the public meeting in Bridgeton, which the President of the Local Government Board quoted as an indication of public sympathy with the Government proposals which conflicts with the facts stated in the following telegram:— From inquiries made find that it was publicans not public meeting in Bridgeton; about dozen present. Brown, the sender of telegram to Ritchie, is a publican.—(Signed) MACKAY.

SIR W. LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)

Are the Government prepared to make any statement on the subject?

* MR. W. H. SMITH

I have no information on the subject. It is usual when an hon. Member asks a question of this character to give notice of it.
