HC Deb 04 March 1892 vol 2 c133

SECOND READING.

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."

MR. KELLY

May I ask the House whether it is going to consider the provisions of a Bill which introduces a perfectly novel principle? Will the House, at a few minutes before 12 o'clock, consider a Bill which gives a certain number of tenants upon an estate the right to force landlords to sell to them. If we are going to have the compulsory sale of land let us have a proper discussion about it. This Bill is contrary to the spirit of the Act of last year, and it involves a principle which has never been successfully put before this House, and I hope never will be. I therefore beg to move the adjournment of the Debate.

Motion made, and Question, "That the Debate be now adjourned,"—(Mr. Kelly,)—put, and agreed to.

Debate adjourned till Monday next.
