§ Mr. McKENNAAs I informed the deputation which I had the pleasure of meeting, should be glad if the House could be afforded an opportunity to consider the Bill, but it is quite impossible to give Government time for it. When the Bill is reached, Members will be invited to vote without regard to party ties.
