HC Deb 16 April 1896 vol 39 c1135

Considered in Committee:—

(In the Committee.)

Clause 1:—

DR. TANNER (Cork, Mid.), moved that progress be reported.

THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. T. W. RUSSELL,) Tyrone, S.

, appealed to the hon. Member not to persist in the motion, on the ground that the Bill was entirely non-contentious. The hon. Member for South Shields had an Amendment on the Paper in relation to it, but he had been satisfied with the arrangements made, and would not proceed with it. Moreover, the Bill would be the means of saving the country many thousands a year, and he hoped the hon. Member for Cork would allow it to proceed.

DR. TANNER

declined to withdraw his Motion.

Committee report progress; to sit again to-morrow.
