HC Deb 12 March 1906 vol 153 cc941-2
SIR W. EVANS GORDON

I wish to ask leave to move the adjournment of the House for the purpose of calling attention to a matter of urgent public importance—namely, the announcement by the Home Secretary that the Government intend by administrative changes to set aside the provisions of the Aliens (Immigration) Act of 1905, which came into force on January 1 this year.

MR. SPEAKER

In my opinion this matter can be raised, and will properly be raised, on the consideration of the Vote on account which stands on the paper to-day. Even if it is not reached to-day or to-morrow, it will almost certainly be taken on Wednesday or Thursday. In my opinion that will offer sufficient opportunity to the hon. Member to raise the Question.
