§ MR. J. BELLsaid, the Bill for regulating the qualifications of Pharmaceutical Chemists, which he asked leave to bring in, was the same he introduced in the last Session, with Amendments, to meet objections then raised against it. To comply with the forms of the House, he would move that the House resolve itself into Committee for the purpose of giving leave for the introduction of the Bill.
§ "Resolved—That this House will, immediately, resolve itself into a Committee, to consider of regulating the qualifications of Pharmaceutical Chemists."
§ House in Committee.
§ MR. HUMEwished to know, whether anything had been added to render the Bill more acceptable, and whether it had received the approbation of Her Majesty's Ministers?
§ MR. J. BELLsaid, he had been in communication with the right hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department; he had no objection to bringing in the Bill, and as soon as he had seen it he would state whether he would support it or not. The objections last year were, that the Bill gave too much power to the body which it created, and it had since been altered to meet those objections.
§ "Resolved—That the Chairman be directed to 468 move the House, That leave be given to bring in a Bill for regulating the qualifications of Pharmaceutical Chemists."
§ House resumed.
§ Resolutions reported.
§ Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. Jacob Bell and Mr. Ewart.
