Motion made, and Question proposed,
That it be an Instruction to the Committee on Pilotage Provisional Orders (No. 1) Bill, that they have power to insert Clauses providing compensation from local funds, or rates, or contributions from shipowners or certified masters or mates, for any persons whose interests they may deem to be affected by this Bill."—[Mr. Llewellyn.)
§ MR. COURTNEY (Cornwall, Bodmin)Since this Instruction was originally placed on the Paper, the hon. Member for Somerset (Mr. Llewellyn) has enlarged its scope. To the first part, which is in accordance with the Rules of the House, I have no objection. It is—
That it be an Instruction to the Committee on Pilotage Provisional Orders (No. 1) Bill, that they have power to insert Clauses providing compensation from local funds, or rates, for any persons whose interests they may deem to be affected by this Bill.But the hon. Member goes on to add—or contributions from shipowners or certificated masters or mates.1711 Now, shipowners or certificated masters or mates are not before the Committee, and I submit that it would be abnormal and quite out of order to empower the Committee to grant compensation to persons who have no locus standi to appear before the Committee. I therefore hope that the hon. Member will strike out that part of the Instruction.
§ MR. LLEWELLYN (Somerset, N.)If the Instruction is out of order, I beg to omit the words to which the right hon. Gentleman takes exception.
