HC Deb 22 March 1895 vol 31 cc1748-9

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY, Newcastle-upon-Tyne) moved the Second Reading of this Bill.

MR. T. H. BOLTON (St. Pancras, N.)

asked whether there was any precedent for Section 3.

MR. J. MOKLEY

said, that the provision giving protection from electoral disability to the recipients of relief had been embodied in three Acts providing extra facilities for the granting of outdoor relief passed in 1880, 1886, and 1890. The provision was thought to be of value, not by politicians only, but by the Boards who were charged with the administration of the relief.

MR. T. H. BOLTON

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman would undertake to afford some opportunity of discussing the matter when the Bill was in Committee.

Objection was taken to proceeding with the Bill, and the Debate therefore stood adjourned.

Sitting suspended at Five minutes to Seven o'clock.
