§ MR. BYLESI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he could close the Committee on the Local Go- 214 vernment Bill on some convenient evening an hour or two before midnight, or in some other way could undertake to afford the House an opportunity of discussing the Report and Evidence of the Featherstone Inquiry Committee?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEI am told the evidence has just been circulated. [Mr. BYLES: On Saturday.] I think some time should be allowed for its consideration, and if the question is repeated on a future day the Government will consider whether any arrangement for a discussion can be made.
