HL Deb 18 February 1879 vol 243 cc1393-4
EARL GRANVILLE

I should be glad to hear, for the convenience of your Lordships, what the course of Public Business is to be. I observe that the noble Earl the Prime Minister is not in his place; but if it is convenient for the noble Duke the Lord President to give the House some information on the subject I should be glad.

THE DUKE OF RICHMOND AND GORDON

I have not had an opportunity of consulting the Prime Minister, but I shall reply to the Question of the noble Earl opposite to the extent of my knowledge. In addition to the Bill on the subject of Bankruptcy which was introduced last night the Lord Chancellor will introduce this evening a Bill dealing with County Courts in England. I hope at an early day next week to introduce a Bill for amending the Medical Acts; and shortly after that, though not next week, I hope to introduce a Bill for the Conservancy of Rivers and on the question of Floods generally.
