trusted the hon. Member would not object to progress being made with the Bill, which was a measure clearly in the interest of the public There was hardly a person in the country who had not suffered from had plumbing work. The Bill would also he to the interest of the plumbers themselves. He would ask that the Order for going into Committee might he discharged, so that the Bill could be referred to the Standing Committee on Trade.

MR. S. EVANS

said, there was a Bill on the Paper in which the Welsh Members were interested which ought to have been taken to-day in the ordinary course. They had had no assistance from the Government in regard to it; therefore, they could not consent to the Motion now made.
