§ MR. DILLONI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when the Sale of Food and Drugs Bill will be introduced?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThe Bill will be introduced this Session, but I do not think there is much chance of its being passed into law.
§ MR. DILLONMay I ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will endeavour to get the Bill passed this Session, inasmuch as two Irish Bills have been blocked, and surely some of the time spent on those Bills might have been spent on this?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYIt depends on a general survey of the business of the Session. I am afraid I cannot add anything to the statement I have already made. Of course, if it should unexpectedly turn out that there is a universal enthusiasm for this Bill, it might possibly be carried.
