HC Deb 28 April 1927 vol 205 cc1011-2
43. Sir HUGH LUCAS-TOOTH

asked the Minister of Agriculture when he expects to take the Second Reading of the Ouse Drainage Bill?

as far as they are available, in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the statement:

Sir H. BARNSTON

My right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to name[...] date.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Will the hon. and gallant Gentleman or the Prime Minister assure us that this Bill will not be introduced after Eleven o'clock at night because it involves some very important questions and puts matters on an entirely new basis?

Sir H. LUCAS-TOOTH

Is there any chance of the Second Reading being taken before Whitsuntide?
