HC Deb 08 June 1891 vol 353 cc1921-2
MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

Seeing that there is a good deal of opposition to this Bill, and bearing in mind the period of the Session at which we have arrived, is it worth while keeping the Order on the Paper?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) Dublin University

I know there is a good deal of opposition to a very important clause. I am to receive a deputation on Wednesday, and to discuss with them if it is possible, consistently with maintaining the efficiency of the Bill, to alter the clause, and to meet their views in any shape or form. If we do not come to an arrangement, I am afraid it will not be possible to proceed with the Bill. Of course, I cannot give an answer to the hon. Member till after Wednesday.

MR. SEXTON

I will repeat the question on Thursday.

Committee deferred till Monday next.
