§ MR. DUNCOMBE (Cumberland, Egremont)May I ask if it is the intention to proceed with the Vaccination Bill to night?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYNo, Sir. And may I point out it is not usual to discuss the general principles of a Bill at any length on the Third Reading.
§ MR. DUNCOMBEWhen will the Bill be taken?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI cannot say as yet, but I warned the House yesterday that it might have to be taken late in the sitting.
§ MR. T. P. O'CONNOR (Liverpool, Scotland)May I suggest that if the Bill were put down as a First Order on the understanding that the discussion would not exceed two hours it would be more convenient?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThe difficulty would be to confine the Debate to two hours. We have to send the Bill to the Lords.
§ SIR C. DILKEWhen will the Prisons Bill be taken? I notice that, although in his statement the other day the right honourable Gentleman named it immediately after the Vaccination Bill, he is taking the Criminal Evidence Bill before that.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI do not recall that, but I have looked upon the Bill as one not requiring much further discussion.
§ SIR C. DILKEThe right honourable Gentleman certainly said the business for the early part of this week would be the Vaccination Bill and the Prisons Bill.
