HC Deb 03 August 1894 vol 28 cc112-3

Further Proceeding on Consideration, as amended (by the Standing Committee).

CAPTAIN NAYLOR-LEYLAND (Colchester)

I object.

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. H. GLADSTONE,) Leeds, W.

appealed to the hon. and gallant Member not to press his objection, on the ground that there was a general agreement on both sides of the House that the Bill should become law as soon as possible.

MR. BYLES (York, W.R., Shipley)

also appealed to the hon. and gallant Member not to press his objection.

CAPTAIN NAYLOR-LEYLAND

I object.

MR. H. GLADSTONE

said, the Bill was not contentious, and was supported by all sides of the House.

MR. HOWELL

said, it was a Bill looked forward to with great anxiety by people out of doors. It had been well considered by a Committee upstairs, and had now reached the final stage. He hoped that in the interest of the public and the Building Societies the House would allow the Bill to be considered.

MR. GOSCHEN

said, that if the case were as the hon. Member stated it would be an easy thing for the Government to find a quarter of an hour at an earlier period of the evening for making progress with the measure.

CAPTAIN NAYLOR-LEYLAND

It may shorten the discussion if I say that I have no intention whatever of withdrawing my objection.

Further Proceeding deferred till Monday next.
