§ Motion made and Question proposed, "That Mr. Henry H. Fowler be a Member of the Committee."—(Mr. Arnold Morley.)
§ MR. T. M. HEALY (Londonderry, S.)Sir, I rise to ask that this Motion may be postponed. This is a Committee with respect to which there are strong opinions, for and against, amongst the Party with whom I act. I observe that there are upon the Committee, nominated by the House, four Members who are in favour of the Bill, and one against it. I observe, also, that it is intended to appoint four more Members through 1407 the Committee of Selection, and I think it only fair that we should wait to see whom the Committee of Selection will appoint. If it is proposed to appoint four Members from the North of Ireland, in addition to those already on the Committee, I cannot think that its composition would be a fair one. It would, I think, be in the interest of all parties to postpone the debate, until we see what names are intended to be brought forward.
§ MR. SEXTON (Sligo, S.)I think that the Committee of Selection should simply name four Gentlemen, and that the Government should postpone the debate until Monday next.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Debate be now adjourned."—(Mr. Arnold Morley.)
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Debate adjourned till Monday next.
