HC Deb 21 June 1886 vol 307 cc34-5
SIR CHARLES FORSTER (Walsall)

moved— That Standing Orders 84, 214, 215, 223, and 239 be suspended, and that the Bill be now taken into consideration.

Motion agreed to.

Bill considered.

An hon. MEMBER moved, in Clause 9, after the words "ninety pounds," to insert the word "cash."

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the word 'cash' be there inserted."

THE CHAIRMAN OF WAYS AND MEANS (Mr. COURTNEY) (Cornwall, Bodmin)

I have no objection to the Amendment, although I really think it is quiteu nnecessary. The provision is that stock or shares shall not be issued at a price less than £90 per cent. Surely that, as it stands, refers to cash. As, however, the hon. Member desires to insert the word "cash" I have no objection.

Amendment agreed to.

Ordered, That Standing Orders 223 and 243 be suspended, and that the Bill be now read the third time.

Bill read the third time, and passed, with Amendments.
