HC Deb 26 April 1898 vol 56 c1268

Order of the day for the Second Reading read.

DR. C. K. D. TANNER (Cork County, Mid)

I object.

MR. C. SEALE-HAYNE (Devon, Ashburton)

With the permission of the House I would appeal to the honourable Member to withdraw his objection. This Bill is the outcome of the deliberations of a Select Committee which sat last year. It has been before the House for a long time. It is a Bill which vitally affects the interests of many manufacturers in the country, and I sincerely hope that the honourable Gentleman will allow it to be read a second time.

DR. TANNER

I myself sat upon that Committee. After the appeal the right honourable Gentleman makes to me, I will have much pleasure in withdrawing my objection.

Bill read second time, and committed to Standing Committee on Trade, etc.

House adjourned at 12.5.
