§ Mr. LUNDONasked the Chief Secretary whether he can see his way to carry through the Labourers Bill as quickly as 2011W possible, so that money may be available for the carrying out of schemes promulgated by district councils, but which are now and have been for some time past hung up for want of funds?
§ Mr. BIRRELLNobody is more anxious than I am to carry the Bill through, and I have made two or three attempts to get it through its Second Reading but without success owing to opposition. I may add that a financial Resolution will be necessary before the Bill goes into Committee, and this will afford an opportunity for a statement with regard to the objects of the Bill.
