§ MR. SHAW-LEFEVREsaid, it might be for the convenience of the House if he stated that the Report stage of the Equalisation of Rates Bill would be taken on Friday instead of Monday.
§ MR. BARTLEYsaid, he was afraid that the change would be inconvenient to many Members who had left the House on the understanding that the Bill would be taken on Monday. There would, besides, be no time to consider clauses and Amendments which had not yet been circulated.
§ MR. SHAW-LEFEVREsaid, he hoped to see the clauses and Amendments in the hands of hon. Members to-morrow evening.
§ In answer to Mr. TOMLINSON,
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. T. E. ELLIS, Merionethshire)said, it would be decided to-morrow whether the Railway and Canal Traffic Bill would be taken before or after the Report stage of the Equalisation of Rates Bill.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ House adjourned at twenty minutes before Six o'clock.
