HC Deb 14 July 1913 vol 55 cc880-1
52. Mr. NEWMAN

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that it is not intended to press the Land Purchase (Ireland) Amendment Bill through any of its stages before the prorogation of Parliament, he will grant facilities for a full Debate to take place on its introduction in order that the Government may be informed of Irish opinion on the question?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Bill, on its introduction, will be put down as the first order for the day, and the evening devoted to its discussion.

53. Mr. NEWMAN

asked the Prime Minister whether it is intended to proceed with the Industrial and Provident Societies (Amendment) Bill this Session; and, if so, whether he can name a date?

The PRIME MINISTER

It is intended to proceed with this Bill in a modified form at an early date, which I cannot yet state.

Mr. NEWMAN

Before the end of the Session?

Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

Is it intended to pass the measure this Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

Certainly, if in an agreed form.
