HC Deb 09 February 1882 vol 266 c330

MR. ROUNDELL moved— That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the constitution of the Universities Committee of the Privy Council; and for other purposes relating thereto.

MR. R. N. FOWLER

said, hon. Members would recollect that a Bill in connection with this subject was introduced and passed by the House at the end of last Session. It had been, however, rejected in "another place;" and, under the circumstances, he begged to ask the hon. Member who had charge of the present measure for some information with regard to it.

MR. ROUNDELL

assured the hon. Member for the City of London that the Bill did not involve any matter of a controversial kind, its object being simply to place the constitution of the Universities Committee of the Privy Council on a more satisfactory footing.

Motion agreed to.

Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. ROUNDELL, Mr. BRYCE, Mr. WODEHOUSE, and Mr. SHIELD.

Feb 10—Bill presented, and read the first time. [Bill 29.]
