HC Deb 14 February 1898 vol 53 cc466-7
MR. JOHN HERBERT LEWIS (Flint Boroughs)

Mr. Speaker, I was about to move two Amendments.

MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member cannot move such an Amendment to a return which is moved by the Government.

MR. DAVID BRYNMOR JONES (Swansea District)

; I object to the return.

MR. SPEAKER

It is moved for by the Government itself. It is impossible to make a mere formal objection to a return which is moved for by the Government. If the hon. Member wants further information he can ask for it.

MR. TIMOTHY M. HEALY (North Louth)

If the Government want a return, why do not they get it themselves, instead of asking the permission of the House for it?

MR. SPEAKER

That is not for me to answer. It is for the Government.
