HC Deb 02 June 1896 vol 41 c366

Order read for the Second Reading of this Bill.

DR. CLARK (Caithness)

asked if the Government proposed to do anything with the Bill? If so, he would suggest that the present stage should be taken, and the Bill then referred to a Grand Committee.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

agreed that the Bill ought to go to a Grand Committee, and with that object he would move that the Bill be now read a Second time.

Objection, however, being taken to the further consideration of the Bill, the Motion was deferred till Thursday.
