HC Deb 11 June 1906 vol 158 cc807-8

On the order for the Committee stage of this Bill

MR. T. P O'CONNOR (Liverpool, Scotland Division)

said that the Home Secretary and he had practically come to an arrangement in regard to it. The right hon. Gentleman considered that the measure needed amendment in some particulars, and he therefore proposed to adjourn the Committee stage until Wednesday, so that the right hon. Gentleman might have time to draft his Amendments.

*THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. GLADSTONE,) Leeds, W.

thought the course taken by the hon. Gentleman would facilitate the passing of this much wanted Bill.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

said that, as one who took an interest in the Bill, he was glad to learn that the long disputed question of musical copyright would soon be brought to a conclusion.
