HC Deb 08 August 1894 vol 28 c428
MR. SHAW-LEFEVRE

said, 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. BARTLEY

said, 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-LEFEVRE

said, 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.
