HC Deb 05 July 1897 vol 50 c1184

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE (Carnarvon Boroughs)

complained of the procedure with regard to this Bill, which had already been rejected by a substantial majority of 13. [Laughter.] In recent years there was no precedent for the course pursued. The Isle of Man had a Legislature of its own. They knew little of its laws, absolutely nothing, and this Bill was launched without a single word of explanation.

And, it being Midnight, the Debate stood adjourned.

Debate to he resumed To-morrow.
