§ SIR COLMAN O'LOGHLENsaid, he rose to move that this Bill be referred to the Select Committee on the Metropolis Sewage and Essex Reclamation Bill. Similar witnesses would have to be examined in both cases, and therefore it would save a great amount of time and expense to consider the two Bills together.
§
Motion made, and Question proposed,
That the Utilization of Sewage and Land Reclamation (Ireland) Bill be referred to the Select Committee on the Metropolis Sewage and Essex Reclamation Bill."—(Sir Colman O'Loghlen.)
§ COLONEL WILSON PATTENsaid, there could have been no objection to referring this Irish Sewage Bill to the English Sewage Select Committee had the Committee been willing to undertake its consideration; but from a communication which he had had with some of the Members of that Committee, he found that they were unwilling to accept the consideration of the Bill, and therefore, he would suggest that the Motion now before the House should be withdrawn.
§ SIR COLMAN O'LOGHLENsaid, he would consent to accept the suggestion of the hon. and gallant Member.
§ Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
