HC Deb 14 July 1898 vol 61 cc960-1
MR. BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

Can the Leader of the House new say when the Colonial Loans Bill will be taken?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

The Colonial Loans Bill will be introduced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to-morrow.

MR. GIBSON BOWLES

Can the right honourable Gentleman fix a day when the Evidence in Criminal Cases Bill will be taken?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I am afraid I cannot fix a day. I will, however, be in a position tomorrow to state definitely what will be taken in the early part of next week. I am unwilling to make pledges as to days beyond that.

MR. T. M. HEALY

With reference to the Motion on the Paper for the suspension of the Twelve o'clock Rule, may I ask when the Irish Local Government Bill will be taken again, assuming that owing to action extraneous to that of the Irish Members it is not finished to-night.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I am reluctant to contemplate that it will not be finished to-night. In that unhappy event I shall have to determine whether under the very exceptional circumstances it should be taken to-morrow or at a Saturday sitting.

SIR W. FOSTER (Derby, Ilkeston)

Will the Vaccination Bill be taken early next week?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I shall be prepared to say to-morrow what business will be taken in the early part of next week.
