HC Deb 20 August 1909 vol 9 cc1745-6

Question proposed, "That the Bill be read the third time."—[Mr. Whitley.]

Sir F. BANBURY

I object. We have an agreement that no more Bills shall be taken to-night. I have it in my hand. Surely the hon. Gentleman will not persist in his Motion!

Mr. WHITLEY

This was one of the Bills which it was agreed should be taken last night. It was objected to under a misunderstanding. I showed the hon. Baronet at the commencement of business this morning the list of Bills we Were to take, and I understood he agreed to it; I really think we ought to be allowed to have this third reading.

Sir F. BANBURY

The Paper shown me by the hon. Member was not the final Paper which I have now in my hand and which was agreed to two hours later. As a matter of fact, the hon. Gentleman gave one more Bill last night than he ought to have done. Under these circumstances I do not think he should persist in his Motion.

Mr. WHITLEY

Very well; but we will take it on Monday.

Bill to be read the third time on Monday next (23rd August).
