§ MR. SEYMOUR KEAYI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he can engage that the Indian Councils Bill will not be taken before the 28th instant, in order that Members interested in it may be able to be present?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.No; I am afraid I cannot enter into any engagement of the kind referred to in the question of the hon. Member, because I hope to be able to take the Indian Councils Bill on Monday week, that measure not being, in my opinion, a contentious one.
