§ 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, Wellingtonsaid 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'DONNELLAs 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. BALFOURI understand it is the general wish that the Bill shall be proceeded with without unnecessary delay.
