HC Deb 20 April 1885 vol 297 cc281-2
SIR JOHN LUBBOCK

said, he wished to move the Motion standing in his name for the nomination of the Select Committee on Voting at School Board Elections. The name of Mr. O'Connor Power was a misprint for the name of Mr. J. O'Connor.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Select Committee on School Board Elections (Voting') be nominated."—(Sir John Lubbock.)

MR. DILLWYN

said, he thought this subject ought to be carefully considered before the Resolution was agreed to, and he did not think that full consideration could be given to it on the present occasion, as there was not a full House.

Notice taken, that 40 Members were not present; House counted, and 40 Members being found present,

Question put, and agreed to.

Motion made, and Question, "That the Committee do consist of Twenty-one Members,"—(Sir John Lubbock,)—put, and agreed to.
