HC Deb 07 August 1913 vol 56 cc1741-2
46. Colonel BURN

asked the Prime Minister if he will give facilities this Session for the passage of the Health and Watering Places Bill through all its stages?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

I fear that, owing to the exigencies of Parliamentary business, it is not possible to proceed with this Bill this Session.

Colonel BURN

Will the right hon. Gentleman state what objection the Government, as reported by the President of the Local Government Board, has to this measure, which is accounted a non-contentious measure?

The PRIME MINISTER

I do not know that there is any objection, but we have not the time.
