§ MR. MARK STEWART (Kirkcudbright)I beg to ask the Secretary of 1432 State for the Home Department if he will bring forward his Consolidation Bill on betting and gambling this Session, which he has told the House was already prepared?
§ MR. MATTHEWSI am disposed to think that it will not be possible to find time for the Consolidation Bill on betting and gambling in the present Session, which is already too full. There are other measures prepared in the Home Office which are more urgent than the Bill to which my hon. Friend refers, and for which time may not improbably be wanting. I will, however, not lose sight of the subject.
