§ Bill as amended (by Standing Order) to be considered.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. MUNDELLA,) Sheffield, BrightsideI hope the House will allow this Bill to be considered. We have had many important Reports from Inspectors as to the necessity of shortening the hours of railway servants I hope therefore that the noble Lord opposite (the Marquess of Carmarthen) will no longer oppose the Bill.
THE MARQUESS OF CARMARTHEN (Lambeth, Brixton)said, that private Members did not get any satisfaction from the Government when they made appeals founded on the importance of their measures. The Government could put this Bill down as the first Order of the Day if they thought it so important.
§ Consideration, as amended, deferred till To-morrow.
