HC Deb 18 May 1908 vol 188 c1667
SIR F. CHANNING (Northamptonshire, E.)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, in the event of it becoming necessary to move to fix a time limit to the discussion of the Licensing Bill in Committee, he will favourably consider the procedure suggested in a Motion on to-day's Paper for a new Standing Order to secure priority, in such cases, for Amendments raising the more important issues.

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fifeshire, E.

My hon. friend's suggestion shall be carefully considered.
