HC Deb 03 August 1896 vol 43 c1416

On the Motion for the Second Reading of this Bill,

MR. J. P. FARRELL (Cavan, W.)

Does this Bill include the Irish Arms Act?

MR. HANBURY

Yes.

MR. J. P. FARRELL

appealed to the Government to postpone the Bill until some of his colleagues were present.

* MR. SPEAKER

said that the objection to the Irish Arms Act could not be discussed on the Second Reading; it was a point for Committee.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

hoped that hon. Members would allow this stage to pass because it was not the stage on which the objection mentioned could be raised. The proper stage for that was Committee.

MR. J. P. FARRELL

withdrew his objection.

Bill read a Second time and committed for To-morrow.

Whereupon, in pursuance of the Order of the House of the 20th day of July last, Mr. Speaker adjourned the House without Question put.

House adjourned at Twenty-five minutes before Three o'clock.
