§ MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)I wish to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is in accordance with the promise which he gave before the adjournment for the holidays that any Orders of the Day should precede that for the Second Reading of the Private Bill Procedure (Scotland) Bill?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH, Strand, Westminster)There is no intention of taking the Purchase of Land and Congested Districts (Advances, &c.) Bill and the Land Department, Ireland (Salaries, &c.) Bill to-night. They have been put down simply as a matter of form. We shall proceed as arranged with the third Order—the Private Bill Procedure (Scotland) Bill.
