HC Deb 13 May 1909 vol 4 cc2003-4
Mr. PIKE PEASE (for Mr. Hicks Beach)

asked the Prime Minister when the second reading of the Secretary of the Board of Agriculture Bill will be taken?

The PRIME MINISTER

If this Bill could be regarded as non-controversial, I should be prepared to move the second reading on an early day; but if the Bill is to be debated on the second reading I cannot name any date before Whitsuntide.
