§ Order for Motion for Select Committee read.
§ *MR. GOSCHENI believe it is generally desired that progress should be made by the Committee, and if anything is to be done this Session, the Committee should be appointed without delay. I do not know that we shall be better able to proceed with the Motion another evening.
§ MR. SEXTONWe desire the appointment of the Committee, but we desire also, to make some representations on the terms of reference. What the Welsh Members intend, I do not know, but for the discussion, not a long one, of points we desire to raise, I would ask that the Motion should be taken at an earlier hour.
§ *MR. GOSCHENThe hon. Member must not understand me as making any engagement. I have no doubt objections might be met, and I may remind the hon. Member that discussion might be taken after 12 o'clock.
§ MR. SEXTONThe objection to that is, that discussion may be terminated at any moment by any Member raising objection.
§ MR. S. EVANS (Glamorgan, Mid)May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he will accept the Amendment standing in my name?
§ Motion deferred to Thursday.
