HC Deb 12 March 1896 vol 38 cc784-5
DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)

Will the Minister for Agriculture say whether it is his intention to proceed with the Diseases of Animals Bill to-night?

MR. WALTER LONG

That Question carries with it its own reply. [Laughter.]

DR. FARQUHARSON

Then I must ask the First Lord of the Treasury when this Bill is likely to be taken. ["Hear, hear!"] Can the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance to the House that it will be proceeded with at a period of the evening when full discussion will be possible?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREA-SURY

I cannot fix any date now.

MR. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)

Will a day's notice be given of the intention to go on with the Bill?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

Yes, certainly.
