§ MR. F. A. CHANNINGI beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the grave extension of pending industrial disputes, he will endeavour to arrange for the Second Reading of the Conciliation (Trade Disputes) Bill oil the earliest possible day, with the view of sending the Bill promptly to a Standing or Select Committee, and of passing into law the best suggestions Parliament can devise for a settlement of such disputes?
§ SIR C. W. DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)Before the right hon. Gentleman answers that question, may I ask whether he will take into consideration the prior claims of the Factory Bill and the Truck Bill as measures of greater interest?
§ SIR W. HARCOURTYes, Sir, it is my duty to consider all conflicting claims.
