Members, be either adopted by the Government or given facilities for its passage into law at the earliest possible opportunity?
Sir. R. HORNEThe Government proposes to introduce at an early date a measure dealing with the same matter and the suggestion of my Noble Friend accordingly cannot be adopted.

Sir R. HORNEI cannot give an assurance that it will be introduced before Whitsuntide, but it will be introduced as soon as possible.
