DESPATCH OF BUSINESS IN PARLIAMENT.

HC Deb 16 March 1869 vol 194 c1560

LORDS' MESSAGE [15th March] considered.

MR. GLADSTONE

called the attention of the House to the fact that the Lords had appointed a Committee to inquire into the Business of Parliament. He said this was of itself a sufficient reason for this House to appoint a Committee to confer with them. He would therefore move "That a Select Committee of Six Members be appointed to join with the Select Committee appointed by the House of Lords, as mentioned in their Lordships' Message of Monday, 15th March, to consider whether any facilities can be given for the Despatch, of Business in Parliament, especially in regard to the relations of the two Houses."

Motion agreed to.

Ordered, That a Select Committee of Six Members be appointed to join with the Select Committee appointed by the House of Lords, as mentioned in their Lordships' Message of Monday 15th March, to consider whether any facilities can be given for the Despatch of Business in Parliament, especially in regard to the relations of the two Houses:—Committee nominated:—Sir GEORGE GREY, Mr. DISRAELI, Mr. BOUVERIE, Mr. WALPOLE, Mr. DODSON, and Colonel WILSON-PATTEN:—Power to send for persons, papers, and records; Three to be the quorum.

Message to The Lords to acquaint them therewith.
