HC Deb 17 July 1896 vol 43 c40
MR. HENRY LABOUCHERE (Northampton)

asked whether the First Lord of the Treasury would be good enough to put the terms of his Motion in reference to the suspension of the Twelve o'clock Rule on the Paper early, so that Amendments could be put down to it tonight if anyone so desired.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

I have not got the terms of the Motion ready. My intention was to announce it at the adjournment of the House, when I am afraid it would be too late to put down Amendments, but I will try to meet the wishes of hon. Gentlemen.

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT (Monmouthshire, W.)

Can the right hon. Gentleman inform us whether the terms of his Motion are the same as the terms of the Motion for the year 1894?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I would not like to commit myself to that, but I will let the right hon. Gentleman know, or any other hon. Gentleman that desires the information, what the terms are as early as possible.
