§ MR. JAMES REID (Greenock)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can say when it is proposed to take the Second Reading of the Marine Insurance Bill.
§ THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)I cannot fix a date for taking this Bill, but I do not think there need be any serious obstacle in the way of passing it as I understand that the measure is practically uncontroversial.
