HC Deb 10 May 1897 vol 49 c183

On the Order for the Third Reading of this Bill,

MR. CRILLY

objected to the Bill being taken at that hour (Twelve o'clock).

MR. W. F. LAWRENCE (Liverpool, Abercromby)

hoped that the hon. Member would not persist in his objection. There was no opposition to the Bill locally. It was of great importance locally, because the channel into the Mersey would be lighted by two different authorities unless the Bill became law.

MR. CRILLY

said he had received communications from Liverpool on the subject which induced him to oppose the Third Reading of the Measure.

Third Reading deferred till Thursday,
