HL Deb 26 February 1908 vol 184 cc1710-1

Brought from the Commons. Read 1a; to be printed; and to be read 2a on Tuesday, the 10th of March next. (No. 22).

EARL ROSEBERY

When does the Government propose to take the Second Reading of the Bill?

THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord LOREBURN)

As I said yesterday, I had hoped to do so next week, but, while I do not propose to suggest any postponement beyond a few days, as I have other work to do, and it is really not my legitimate business to promote Land Bills in this House, I should like a few days longer interval. If the beginning of the following week would suit the convenience of the House I would hope to bring the Bill forward then.
