HC Deb 05 June 1899 vol 72 cc306-7
Mr. TOMLINSON (Preston)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General whether his attention has been called to the Parliamentary Deposits Bill; and whether, considering that the Parliamentary Deposits and Bonds Act was promoted and carried by the Government of the day, he will use his influence with the Government to induce them to make this Bill a Government measure?

The ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER, Isle of Wight)

I am acquainted with the provisions of the Parliamentary Deposits Bill to which my hon. and learned friend refers. In my opinion it is certainly a Bill which ought to pass, but I cannot say more in the matter.
