§ SIR EDWARD STRACHEY (Somersetshire, S.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he intends to proceed with the Committee stage of the Food and Drugs Acts Amendment Bill before the Adjournment; and, if so, will he state upon what day the Bill will be taken.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI hope to be able to take this Bill before the Adjournment, but I cannot give an absolute pledge.
§ SIR EDWARD STRACHEYWill the right hon. Gentleman be able to fix a day next Monday? I am sure he will recognise the inconvenience to hon. 1022 Members on both sides, who are interested in this Bill, of not knowing when the Bill may come on.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI will endeavour to give sufficient notice of the day.
