§ MR. KELLYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will inform the House when the Memorandum containing the data and facts, upon which the provisions of the Inflammable Liquids Bill have been founded, is to be laid upon the Table of the House; and whether, if this cannot 1665 be done before the 26th instant, he would be willing to give proper time for full consideration of such facts and data by postponing at once the Motion for the Second Reading of the Bill to some date well after the 13th proximo?
§ *MR. MATTHEWSThe Memorandum containing the data and facts upon which the provisions of the Inflammable Liquids Bill have been founded has been some days in the hands of the printers, and I hope that it will be circulated to hon. Members in the course of the Recess. The notices, however, of opposition to this Bill are so numerous as to render its chances of passing this year very remote. I propose, therefore, as soon as the Memorandum is before the House, to move that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the whole subject, and to await their Report before asking the House to legislate.
