§ MR. WRIGHTSON (Stockton-on-Tees)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, with reference to the Working Men's Dwellings Bill, which has passed the Second Reading, and is the first Order on Wednesday, 14th instant, whether, considering that the principle has been admitted on both sides of the House and that the working classes of England are deeply interested in getting the measure passed into law, he will allow the Bill to go into Committee on the Wednesday allotted to it or on some subsequent day at such an hour as will ensure proper discussion?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEWe made one single exception to the rule of a continuous prosecution of the Irish Government Bill before we entered upon the deliberation of it; and to the pledge we then gave we adhere. I am sorry to say that I cannot now make any addition to that pledge.
