HC Deb 26 May 1892 vol 4 cc1926-7

Motion made, and Question proposed, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the Post Office Act, 1891, in relation to its application to Scotland, and to apply that Act to the Isle of Man and to the Channel Islands."—(Sir James Fergusson.)

MR. TIMOTHY HEALY (Longford, N.)

I think it is most unfair to the House to bring in this Bill, when the original Bill has not been discharged.

*MR. SPEAKER

The original Bill will be discharged when we come to this Bill, which will be substituted for it. This is being done in order to prevent irregularity.

MR. T. M. HEALY

I submit that the proper course would be to first move the discharge of No. 8.

*MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!

Motion agreed to.

Bill ordered to be brought in by Sir James Fergusson and Sir John Gorst.

Bill presented, and read first time. [Bill 378.]
