§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Select Committee on the Kitchen and Refreshment Rooms do consist of Nineteen Members."—(The Secretary to the Treasury, Mr. Arnold Morley.)
§ SIR ROBERT FOWLER (London)I do not rise to object to the appointment of this Committee. The appointment of this Committee is a very delicate matter, and I know that it has been very carefully considered by the hon. Gentleman (Mr. Arnold Morley). At the same time, I wish to say that it does seem to me that 19 Members is a very large Committee to deal satisfactorily with the questions which will come before them. I hope the hon. Member will not consider the appointment of such a large number a precedent. This is a Committee appointed annually; and I trust that if the hon. Gentleman has the duty of proposing the Committee next year he will not think it necessary to nominate 19 Members because such a number was chosen this year.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Ordered, That Mr. A. H. ACLAND, Mr. BIGGAR, Mr. THOMAS HENKY BOLTON, Baron DIMSDALE, General GOLDSWORTHY, and Mr. JOHN REDMOND be added to the Committee.—(Mr. Arnold Morley.)
§ House adjourned at Two o'clock till Monday next.
