HC Deb 05 June 1913 vol 53 c1035
45. Mr. LESLIE SCOTT

asked the Prime Minister if he will give facilities for the Second Reading of the Agricultural Employment Boards Bill; and, if it is read a second time, if he will support a Motion to send it to a Select Committee with powers to take evidence?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

I fear I cannot undertake to give facilities from Government time for the Second Reading of the Bill referred to. Should the Bill receive a Second Reading, I would, as at present advised, support a Motion to send it to a Select Committee.
