HC Deb 13 March 1896 vol 38 c888
MR. ROBERT WARD (Cheshire, Crewe)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade, whether, in view of the fact that the House has now had time to make itself acquainted with the proposals of the Government with regard to the settlement of trade disputes and in view of the importance of the subject, he will fix an early date for the Second Reading of the Conciliation Bill and give facilities for its discussion?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. C. T. RITCHIE,) Croydon

It is not possible to name a day when the Second Reading can be taken until further progress is made with the business before the House.
