HC Deb 08 May 1895 vol 33 cc775-6

On Motion that the House do now adjourn,

MR. C. E. SHAW (Stafford)

I shall be glad to be allowed to make a personal explanation how it came about that I was unable to take part in the Division just now, and it may be for the convenience of hon. Members that I should do so. I wish to call the attention of the House to the fact that there seems to be no communication between the House and the Typewriting Room, so that it is impossible for those Members who happen to be engaged there as I was to attend in the House when the question is put. It would, I think, be convenient for the House to have such communication, or the some thing may occur on other and perhaps more critical occasions. I think there were other Members besides myself shut out of the Division, and their absence may have affected the majority.
