HC Deb 27 April 1892 vol 3 c1530

Order for Second Reading read.

Objection taken.

(5.45) MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen, S)

May I ask the Lord Advocate to be good enough to state what the objections to this Bill are? The Government accepted the Resolution, and some effect should be given to it. I have not yet heard what it is in this particular Bill the Government take exception to.

(5.45) THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)

The hon. Gentleman can hardly expect us to enter into debateable matter at this hour. To attempt to state the objections now would be an unusual course, and is one not to be recommended.

Second Reading deferred till Monday next.
