Mr. BALDWINI rise to ask the Prime Minister if he will consider, in conjunction with his allies, what course he proposes to take on this Bill. I think that after the Divisions which have taken place, the narrowness of the one and the defeat on this one, that the tactics which have been pursued throughout this Bill, in conjunction with the party below the Gangway, are proving that it is not popular and should be put an end to.
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe right hon. Gentleman is perfectly right that after the Division which has just been taken, and particularly as the time has lapsed for considering the Bill, the matter will be considered—I do not say anything more than that—before the Bill is put down again in the Orders of the Day.
§ Resolved, "That the Chairman do report Progress, and ask leave to sit again.—[Mr. Clynes.]
§ Committee report Progress; to sit again To-morrow.
