§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can now state whether the Factories and Workshops Bill will be taken as first Order on Monday?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHIf it be possible that the Land Purchase Bill should pass through all its stages to-night, then the Motion with regard to Manipur will be taken to-morrow, and I shall be prepared to give Monday for the Factories and Workshops Bill.
§ MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)The right hon. Gentleman has said, "If it be possible that the Land Purchase Bill should pass through all its stages tonight." In these circumstances, I would ask whether, in view of the great alterations made, and likely to be made, in the Bill during the Report stage, the House will have an opportunity of seeing it reprinted before the Third Reading?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHThe alterations made in the Bill are well-known to the House, and it would be a most unusual course to reprint the Bill between the Report and the Third Reading.
§ MR. LABOUCHEREIf the right hon. Gentleman takes that course it is likely that an adjournment will be moved.
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI am quite prepared for that.
