§ Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate [31st March].
§ (6.48.) DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)I hope the attempt will not be made at such a time as this to rush a Bill of this kind through without explanation. The main business of the Sitting is concluded, and I must remonstrate against the Government taking advantage of an unexpected couple of minutes to smuggle a Bill through its Second Reading. Though I have read the Bill I cannot say I have given sufficient study to its provisions in which I know many Members take a keen interest.
§ MR. SPEAKERIf the hon. Member objects the Debate stands over.
§ A LORD OF THE TREASURY (Sir H. MAXWELL, Wigton)I may mention that the Bill has been the subject of consultation between Members of either side who are interested, and it has been agreed there need be no opposition at this stage.
§ Debate further adjourned till Thursday.
