§ MR. HERBERT SAMUEL (Yorkshire, Cleveland)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can state when the Report stage of the Shop Hours Bill will be taken.
§ MR. HERBERT ROBERTSON (Hackney, S.)May I also ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Shop Hours Bill passed through Grand Committee in two sittings; and whether he can say when the Report stage can be taken.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURWhile I cannot fix a date when the Report stage of the Shop Hours Bill will be taken, I should hope that opportunity will be found for taking the remaining stages of what I believe to be wholly an uncontroversial measure.
