§ SIR J. FERGUSSON (Manchester, N.E.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will postpone the Second Reading of the Telephone Communication Bill, which is down for Thursday next, for another week, as the Bill is not yet printed, and being of great importance requires time for consideration?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYYes, Sir; I am quite willing to enter into an engagement not to take the Bill for at least a fortnight.
