HL Deb 01 August 1890 vol 347 cc1525-6

House in Committee (on Re-commitment) (according to order).

Clause 3.

THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

I wish merely to move the adoption of this clause in a somewhat altered form. It is really the same in meaning, but it has, in consequence of difficulties, been somewhat altered, in wording. There will be one or two Consequential Amendments in form, which I shall have to move in consequence of the insertion of the words, "High Commissioner and Resident." There are parts of the world now coming under Her Majesty's dominion, especially in the Pacific, where High Commissioners are very important persons.

EARL GRANVILLE

I have no objection whatever, but I think it may require some consideration.

THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

Certainly.

Clause 4.

THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

I move to insert after the words, "before a Governor," in two places in the clause, the words "High Commissioner or Resident," and the same words will require to be afterwards inserted in Clause 10.

The Report of Amendments to be received on Monday next; and Bill to be printed as amended.—(No. 245.)
