Scottish Private Bill Legislation in working
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)Were it not for the fact that a Private Legislation Reform Bill for Wales, passed unanimously on the 25th March, 1904 its second reading in the House of Commons, and that not a single Irish Member brought forward the ... -

Technical education for commerce
