HC Deb 09 February 1865 vol 177 c127

On Motion of Lord ROBERT MONTAGU, Bill for facilitating the more useful application of Town Sewage in Great Britain and Ireland, ordered to be brought in by Lord ROBERT MONTAGU, Sir FITZROY KELLY, Mr. FERRAND, and Mr. HIBBERT.

Bill presented, and read 1o[Bill 4],

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, he gave a most ready assent to the introduction of these two Bills. The noble Lord had taken great interest in this important and difficult subject, and he (Sir George Grey) and the House would be glad to see the Bills prepared under the direction of the noble Lord. At the same time, he was bound to say that, having given a great deal of attention to the subject, he doubted whether they were yet in possession of sufficiently full and accurate information to enable them to legislate effectively upon the subject. He assumed that to be the notion of the noble Lord himself, from the fact that he had given notice for the appointment of a Committee of Inquiry.

House adjourned at a quarter before Eight o'clock.
