HC Deb 26 February 1912 vol 34 cc994-5
Mr. CASSEL

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give an early date for the Second Reading of the Metropolitan Police Rate Bill?

Mr. McKENNA

As the Prime Minister is unavoidably detained on business connected with the coal strike, he has asked me to reply in his behalf. I hope that this measure will be arranged for at an early date.

Mr. CASSEL

May I point out to the right hon. Gentleman that it is very important that we should have it as early as possible.

Mr. McKENNA

Nobody knows that better than I do.
