HC Deb 21 June 1899 vol 73 c228
MR. DILLON (Mayo, E)

Upon the motion for the Adjournment, I should like to ask whether there is any truth in the rumour that the First Lord of the Treasury has handed in a notice to introduce to-morrow the Clerical Tithes Bill under the Ten-minutes Rule, because if the right honourable Gentleman intends to pursue such a course I desire to give notice that, I shall avail myself of every opportunity of protesting against such an abuse of that Rule.

THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (SIR W. WALROND,) Devon, Tiverton

Notice has been given that the Bill will be introduced to-morrow. There is no such thing as the Ten-minutes Rule. The Bill will be introduced under Standing Order 16 and before Supply.

Adjourned at twenty-five minutes before Six of the clock.
