HC Deb 28 April 1914 vol 61 cc1510-1
45. Colonel BURN

asked the Prime Minister when he intends to take the Second Reading of the National Insurance Act, 1911 (Part II. Amendment), Bill; and whether the Committee stage will be taken in the House or in the Committee Room upstairs?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

I am not yet in a position to make a statement, but I hope the Second Reading may be taken at an early date. The Government will propose that the Committee stage be taken upstairs.

Mr. WHITE

If the Committee stage is taken upstairs, will the right hon. Gentleman arrange for a Report to be provided as in the case of the original Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will consider that.
