HC Deb 21 June 1910 vol 18 cc276-7

Order for Third Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the third time."

Mr. MORTON

I do not know whether I shall be in order in raising the question of third-class sleepers on the Third Reading of this Bill?

Mr. SPEAKER

I can put the hon. Member out of his misery at once by informing him that he will not be in order on this Bill. There is nothing about "third-class sleepers" in this Bill.

Mr. MORTON

Shall I be in order in asking the President of the Board of Trade to take an opportunity on some of these Bills to see that there is no preference given to one class over another?

Mr. SPEAKER

That has no reference to this Bill, and the hon. Member should put down a question.

Mr. MacVEAGH

I beg to call attention to the fact that there are not forty Members present.

Mr. SPEAKER

It is too late. A count cannot be moved after 8.15 p.m.
