HC Deb 27 June 1892 vol 5 c1925
MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)

I have a telegram from the Liberal election agent at Birkenhead, in which he states that the solicitors to the Municipal Corporation have been informed on inquiry at the Writ Office the Writs are not likely to issue until Wednesday; and I wish to ask does the arrangement still hold good under which it was understood that the Writs would issue on Tuesday? Perhaps the Chancellor of the Exchequer can give me an answer?

MR. GOSCHEN

I have not heard of any change in the programme.

MR. LABOUCHERE

May I take it, then, that the Writs will issue on Tuesday?

MR. GOSCHEN

I have not heard of any change.

MR. LABOUCHERE

Would the right hon. Gentleman be likely to have heard of any change in the arrangements?

MR. GOSCHEN

I think it is highly probable I should have heard.
