HC Deb 02 February 1891 vol 349 c1527
MR. ROBY (Lancashire, S.E., Eccles)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will arrange for the distribution to the Members with the Votes of a reprint, from time to time, of such portions of a Public Bill as have been amended in Committee, without waiting for the whole Bill to have passed through Committee?

MR. W. H. SMITH

In cases of Bills of great importance the suggestion made by the hon. Member has been adopted, and a reprint is circulated with the votes indicating the progress made; but I think that it would be inconvenient to adopt the rule with reference to all Bills, as it would involve a considerable addition of labour and expense.
