HC Deb 27 April 1899 vol 70 cc718-9
CAPTAIN SINCLAIR (Forfar)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury what business he proposes to take next week?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I propose to take the Second Reading of the Finance Bill on Monday next. Any remaining Government time will be devoted to the London Government Bill.

MR. D. A. THOMAS

Does the Government propose to give Members an opportunity for discussing the questions raised under the Railway Regulation Bill, especially having regard to the fact that Members have given up a former opportunity on the understanding that the Bill will be referred to a Select Committee?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

We cannot proceed with the Couplings Bill next week.
