580
of Selection be read, and discharged and that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee of Nine Members, Five to be nominated by the House and Four by the Committee of Selection."—(Mr. Baumann.)
§ Question again proposed.
§ *SIR J. PULESTON (Devonport)It may, perhaps, save time if I say that there is no desire on the part of the promoters of the Bill to oppose the Motion of my hon. Friend. Notice of opposition was given yesterday simply because the Motion was seen on the Paper for the first time, and it was thought desirable than an opportunity should be afforded for looking into it.
§ MR. BAUMANN (Camberwell, Peckham)I am glad to hear the remarks of my hon. Friend.
§
