§ Sir CHARLES DILKEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can inform the House on what date he proposes to introduce the Bill dealing with shop hours?
§ Mr. SEDDONhad given notice of a question in the same terms.
§ Mr. GLADSTONEI will answer both together. I regret that I am not yet in a position to name an exact date. Certain questions arising out of the application of the Bill to Scotland are still under consideration; but there, will be no avoidable delay. I will inform the right hon. Baronet and the hon. Member when the Bill is ready for introduction.
