HC Deb 29 March 1883 vol 277 c1101

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Motion made, and Question proposed, That it is expedient to authorise the payment, out of moneys to he provided by Parliament, of the Expenses of any inquiries which may become payable under the provisions of any Act of the present Session to make provision respecting certain Municipal Corporations, and other Local Authorities not subject to the Municipal Corporation Act."—(Sir Charles W. Dilke.)

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL

said, he hoped the right hon. Baronet (Sir Charles W. Dilke) would inform the House what this Resolution was for. He did not wish to oppose, unnecessarily, the progress of the Municipal Corporations Bill; but, at the same time, they had had no discussion upon it.

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

said, the Resolution was merely one of a formal preliminary character.

MR. SIDNEY HERBERT

Has the Bill been laid upon the Table of the House?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Yes; a month ago. It passed the House of Lords last Session.

Resolution agreed to; to be reported To-morrow.
