HC Deb 22 June 1896 vol 41 c1570
SIR ELLIS ASHMEAD-BART-LETT (Sheffield, Ecclesall)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government will postpone those parts of the Education Bill that do not concern elementary education, as well as Clause 27, and will pass the essential portions of the Bill before the Adjournment in August, thus obviating the necessity of running the Session of 1896 into 1897?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I propose to make a statement in Committee on the Education Bill, and perhaps my hon. Friend will be good enough to wait.

Mr. J. H. DALZIEL (Kirkcaldy Burghs)

I would ask the right hon. Gentleman whether the statement will be made in such a way as to allow full discussion?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

It is not for me to pronounce on these matters, but I have no doubt there will be opportunity.
