HC Deb 11 November 1908 vol 196 c298
MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.)

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that under the new arrangement of business the opportunity for discussing the question of the purchase of the docks might only arise in the middle of the night, and that question was not discussed on either the First or the Second Reading of the Bill, the right hon. Gentleman would arrange that Clause 3 should not be taken after 11 p.m.

MR. ASQUITH

Both to-day and to-morrow we shall be discussing this Bill. We have no intention of sitting late, and I think there will be adequate opportunity for the discussion my hon. friend desires.

MR. LOUGH

But will the right hon. Gentleman agree not to take this clause after 11 p.m.?

MR. ASQUITH

No, Sir.
