THE FIRST LORD or THE TREA-SURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster) moved—
That a Select Committee be appointed to consider what means shall be adopted for the attendance of this House at the Jubilee Thanksgiving Service in Westminster Abbey on the 21st day of June; and that Mr. William Henry Smith, Mr. Childers, Mr. David Plunket, Mr. Shaw Lefevre, Viscount Lewisham, Mr. Marjoribanks, Mr. Cavendish Bentinck, Sir Frederick Mappin, and Mr. Craig Sellar be Members of the said Committee; Five to be the quorum.
§ MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)said, he had no objection to the names, but asked why there was no representation of the Irish Members?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. AKERS-DOUGLAS) (Kent, St. Augustine's)explained that the hon. Member for South Meath (Mr. Sheil) had requested him not to nominate upon the Committee any Member from the ranks of hon. Members below the Gangway opposite. The name of the hon. Member for Cavan (Mr. Biggar) had been withdrawn from the list of the proposed Committee by special request. His name had been withdrawn on the ground that hon. Members below the Gangway opposite did not want to be placed upon the Committee.
§ Motion agreed to.
