HC Deb 02 August 1900 vol 87 cc560-1

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

[Mr. J. W. LOWTHER (Cumberland, Penrith) in the Chair.]

MR. DALZIEL (Kirkcaldy Burghs)

said that he did not think the Government ought to ask them to discuss the Bill in detail at that hour, and he would move to report progress.

*THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. Hicks BEACH,) Bristol, W.

I hope the hon. Member will not press his objection. It was understood that I should before the Third Reading of the Bill lay a full statement on the Table of the House. I will undertake to do so. It is very important that I should get the Rill through Committee to-night, for I have to make arrangements for the issue of part of the loan as soon as possible.

Bill reported, without Amendment; to be read the third time upon Monday next.
