HC Deb 24 March 1903 vol 120 c64
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can fix an early day for the Second Reading of the Sale of Adulterated Butter Bill.

THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Sir A. ACLAND-HOOD,) Somersetshire, Wellington

said it was hoped that the Second Reading of the Sale of Adulterated Butter Bill would be taken next week, either on Tuesday or Wednesday.

MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL

As there is considerable difference of of opinion on this Bill, and we are anxious to have further information, may I ask if the Second Reading cannot be postponed till after Easter?

MR. GALLOWAY (Manchester, S.W.)

If it is proposed to refer this Bill to the Grand Committee on Trade, would it not be better to read it a second time before Easter?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I understand it is the general wish that the Bill shall be proceeded with without unnecessary delay.

Forward to
