HC Deb 26 July 1926 vol 198 cc1692-3
48. Sir EVELYN CECIL

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government are now prepared to adopt the Judicial Proceedings (Regulation of Reports) Bill as a Government Measure, seeing that it passed its Second Reading and a Select Committee of this House in 1923, again its Second Reading in 1924, all its stages in another place in 1925, and has this year, after passing its Second Reading in this House by 222 to three, reached the Report stage; and, if so, when it is likely to be taken?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot say yet what the Autumn Session may bring forth, but I will favourably consider the possibility of giving time for this Bill.
