HC Deb 27 July 1915 vol 73 c2230

Order for Second Beading read.

Mr. HEALY

If the Government are not going on with this Bill, is there any use in leaving it upon the Order Papers?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir E. Carson)

The fact that this Bill is not to be taken before the Adjournment does not indicate that it is to be abandoned.

Mr. RAWLINSON

The Bill is one which requires a good deal of consideration. Some Members, I understand, propose to look carefully into it between now and September with a view to proposing Amendments, but it will not be worth their while doing so if the Government are going to drop the Bill.

Sir E. CARSON

There is no intention of dropping it.

Second Reading deferred till To-morrow.
