HC Deb 12 August 1882 vol 273 c1627
MR. CAVENDISH BENTINCK

asked the Chief Commissioner of Works, Whether he could state the precise nature of the Amendments affecting the principle of this Bill to which the Government would agree; and, if further powers were to be given to the Department of Public Works, whether any schemes sanctioned by them would be laid on the Table of the House?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE,

in reply, said, that the House would certainly have an opportunity of expressing an opinion on every such scheme. The hon. Baronet the Member for the University of London (Sir John Lubbock) had given Notice of an Amendment empowering the Government to take the control, by Order in Council, of other monuments besides those mentioned in the Schedule of the Bill, and Orders in Council were, of course, laid upon both Houses of Parliament. The Committee on the Bill would be taken on Monday.
