§ MR. HARRY S. FOSTER (Suffolk, Lowestoft)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, in view of the fact that, owing to the "Count out" on Friday night, no discussion took place on the Motion standing in the name of the hon. Member for North Bucks, calling upon the Government to assist the Port Sanitary Authorities in the expense of defensive measures against an invasion of cholera through the ports, the Government adhere to their decision not to give facilities for expressing an opinion upon their action in the matter?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEI am afraid I am not able to give any facilities for the purpose indicated in the question. I am bound to say I do not think, even if there had been no "Count out" last Friday, there would have been any chance of the Motion being reached, as there were questions in front of it which would have occupied the whole Sitting.
