§ MR. CHANNING (Northampton, E.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether an opportunity will be given to discuss the Motion I have on the Paper on the subject of Turberculosis. The subject is a 838 very important one, and a large number of Members on his own side of the House desire that a reasonable period of time should be given for its discussion?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI heartily sympathise with the honourable Member, but I am sorry that to-night, from my own point of view, has been barren, and may result in having longer sittings than we may desire on Thursday and Friday, and possibly a sitting on Saturday. These are fearful suggestions to make, but I hope they will not be fulfilled. I mention them in order to show that time is just as much needed for Government business. I am afraid I am not in a position to offer facilities for the Motion.
