§ Mr. Laboucheresaid, that he did not see in his place the right hon. Gentleman who had given notice of a motion to refer the Inland Warehousing Bill to a select committee, and in his absence he would only say, that he was willing the subject should be taken into consideration by a committee up stairs. He hoped, however, that no time would be lost in moving for, and naming the committee, as it was desirable that the subject should be brought under the consideration of the House as speedily as possible. He trusted, therefore, that he had left it in charge with some hon.. Member to move for the select committee at once.
§ Sir G. Clerksaid, that his right hon. Friend had asked him to give notice of a motion to that effect.
§ Mr. Laboucheresaid, that if there was no objection to the course, he would himself move that the Committee be appointed, as he was very anxious that no delay should take place. He was quite sure that the right bon. Gentleman did not mean to interpose the Committee for the purpose of delay, and if he imagined that the subject would be more thoroughly investigated by a Committee tip stairs than in a Committee of the whole Houser he (Mr. Labouchere) had no objection to-the inquiry. He hoped, therefore, that he should be allowed to move that a Select Committee be appointed.
§ Committee appointed accordingly.
