§ Considered in Committee.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That it is expedient to authorise the remission of arrears of principal and interest due to the Public Works Loans Commissioners in respect of Eyemouth Harbour in pursuance of any Act of the present Session relating to Local Loans."
§ Mr. WATTWe got a definite promise from the Prime Minister this afternoon that only nine of the Orders on the Paper would be taken to-night. I was specially commissioned to ask that question of the Prime Minister. A number of my Friends were interested in some of the measures following upon No. 9, and on that promise of the Prime Minister they have unfortunately gone away under the impression that those measures would not be gone into. Is not this another breach of promise?
§ Mr. GULLAND (Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury)I think the House will remember quite distinctly what the Prime Minister said. It was that he would not use the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule to go further than No. 9. There was no promise, and, in fact, at the request of the hon. Member, he repeated what he had said.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Resolution to be reported To-morrow.
