HC Deb 17 March 1898 vol 55 c223

Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.

MR. J. CALDWELL (Lanark, Mid)

I object.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

I hope the hon. Member will not persist in his objection. The Bill is a very simple one. It simply corrects a small error made in the drafting of the previous Measure.

MR. CALDWELL

I object. Perhaps the Home Office will in the future be more careful in their drafting.

Second Reading deferred till Monday next.
