HC Deb 26 February 1891 vol 350 c1799

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Sir H. Roscoe.)

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir W. HART DYKE, Kent, Dartford)

I hope the hon. Gentleman will postpone the Motion for two or three days, when I hope to be in possession of information which it is essential to have in considering the measure.

MR. C. T. D. ACLAND (Cornwall, Launceston)

Would it not be possible to take this stage to-night? The County Councils are anxiously awaiting the Bill.

VISCOUNT CRANBORNE (Lancashire, N.E., Darwen)

I object.

Second Reading deferred till Monday next.
