HC Deb 05 April 1905 vol 144 c473
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, having regard to the fact that the Sale of Butter Bill has been discussed during the last two sessions of Parliament, he will take the Second Reading of it an an early day, with the view of having it passed into law this session.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Although I cannot name a day for the Second Reading, I hope the Bill will be passed this session.

MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY

Will the right hon. Gentleman undertake to have the Second Reading before Easter?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I can make no promise.
