§ *(5.36.) SIR J. LUBBOCK (London University)I understand that the Government are prepared to move for a Committee on this subject. I wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Home Secretary if that is so, and in that case I will move to discharge the Bill.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS,) Birmingham, E.The Government will be prepared to move for a Committee to consider the whole subject should the right hon. Gentleman desire it, but at this period of the Session I am not sure that any result would be obtained.
§ *MR. T. H. BOLTON (St. Pancras, N.)I hope the terms of Reference will be very carefully considered. There are many serious questions raised by the Bill, and the persons interested are not at all agreed. The Committee should be appointed without any reference to the proposals embodied in this Bill.
§ *SIR J. LUBBOCKI move that the Order be discharged.
§ Order discharged.
§ Bill withdrawn.
