HC Deb 28 January 1902 vol 101 c1216

[SECOND READING.]

MR. BANBURY (Camberwell, Peckham) moved the Second Reading of the Companies Certificates Bill.

MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)

objected.

MR. BANBURY

said he hoped the hon. Member would not persist with his objection, as the Bill was a very small and simple one.

MR. FLAVIN

said he had a strong objection to the Bill, and a stronger objection to the hon. Gentleman who moved the Second Reading.

MR. BANBURY

said he did not know whether that remark was in order.

* MR. SPEAKER

It is certainly not a courteous remark.

MR. FLAVIN

said he did not intend to be discourteous, but inasmuch as the hon. Gentleman acted as official blocker of Bills for the Government, he would block any Bills he might introduce.

Second Reading deferred till Thursday.

Adjourned at five minutes after Twelve o'clock
