HC Deb 20 February 1896 vol 37 c795
THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

asked for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Acts relating to Public Health in Ireland. He said that it was a non-contentious measure, and he hoped no objection would be raised.

DR. TANNER

protested against the introduction of the Bill on the stroke of Twelve without a word of explanation. This was the first measure which the right hon. Gentleman had been able to introduce, and because it was an Irish Bill it was shot in at one minute before midnight.

Debate adjourned till Monday next.
