HC Deb 27 October 1902 vol 113 cc829-30
DR. MACNAMARA (Camberwell, N.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, whether it is the intention of the Government to proceed, at an early stage of the next session of Parliament, with the Bill for the regulation of the out-of-school labour of school children, introduced last July by the late Home Secretary, and withdrawn last week by the present Home Secretary.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The hon. Member will hardly expect me to foreshadow now the legislative programme for next session, but this reply must not be taken as indicative of a non possumus attitude on my part towards the particular measure to which the hon. Member refers.
