HC Deb 13 June 1892 vol 5 c1003

COMMITTEE.

Order for Committee read.

(1.13.) THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir JOHN GORST,) Chatham

I must object, in fulfilment of the pledge given by my right hon. Friend, that other than Government Bills should not be proceeded with after twelve o'clock.

(1.14.) SIR JOHN LUBBOCK (London University)

I understand that the President of the Local Government Board is quite willing that the Bill should go through, and there is no opposition to it.

(1.15.) DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)

The Government might concede a little to one of the leaders of the Liberal Unionist Party, a Party which has been such a useful crutch to a decrepit Government.

Committee deferred till To-morrow.
