HC Deb 16 February 1893 vol 8 cc1683-4

Order for Second Reading read.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOT-LAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN) Glasgow, Bridgeton

moved the Second Reading of this Bill, and hoped there would be no opposition, as it was merely a small statutory Bill, butt it was one of very great importance to Scotland. A great many of the Scotch Boards were waiting for the passing of the measure, which would be of great benefit to them, and relieve them from some embarrassment.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Sir G. Trevelyan.)

MR. JAMES LOWTHER (Kent, Thanet)

said, it was most unreasonable to ask them to proceed with the Bill at that hour.

MR. T. M. HEALY (Loath, N.)

We will have to repeal the Twelve o'Clock Rule if this goes on.

Second Reading deferred till Monday next.
