§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANmoved, "That the proceedings on the Motion relating to free trade, if under discussion at 12 o'clock this night, be not interrupted under the Standing Orders (Sittings of the House)." In doing so he said—The House will allow me to say that I make this Motion with the view, pointed to by the right hon. Member for Birmingham, of preventing any abrupt termination to-night; but any inquiries I have been able to make have confirmed me in my first estimate of the feeling of the House, that there is a desire for two days discussion, and I can only hope that the right hon. Gentleman will agree with the view, which I expressed before, as to the expediency of bringing the matter to a close decently and in order before the dinner hour to-morrow.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the proceedings on the Motion relating to Free Trade, if under discussion at Twelve o'clock this night, be not interrupted under the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—(Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman.)
§ MR. A. J. BALFOUR (City of London)I agree with the right hon. Gentleman in hoping that the matter will be brought to a termination decently and in order; but I cannot hold out any hope that we on this side of the House think that one and a half day's debate will be adequate for dealing with a subject which he has, with the best intention no doubt, but gratuitously, brought forward.
§ Question put.
§ The House divided:—Ayes, 362; Noes, 113. (Division List No. 10.)
