Parliament Debates Railways Bill and Army Estimates
In the Commons on Thursday, ministers debated the Railway and Canal Traffic Bill with critics arguing the tribunal favored railways and should be funded by them or the public. The Army Estimates followed, with calls to cut 10,000 regulars and shift to reserves, while Gladstone opened the Irish University Bill debate noting proposed governance reforms and Crown oversight.
