HC Deb 01 June 1897 vol 50 c30
MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, when he proposes to take the Second Reading of the Metropolitan Water Companies Bill?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I cannot give an absolute pledge on the matter, but I think it probable—I cannot put it higher than that—that the Second Reading of this Bill will be taken on Monday, the 28th.
