HC Deb 08 April 1892 vol 3 c1039

Order for Committee read.

MR. SPEAKER

The two Motions for Instruction to the Committee are both out of Order. I, therefore, leave the Chair.

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Clause 1.

Committee report Progress.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House will, upon Wednesday, 22nd June, again resolve itself into the said Committee."—(Mr. G. W. Balfour.)

MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)

I object. The hon. Member takes the first Wednesday after the Whitsuntide Vacation. I object, and I understand that by the Standing Order if objection be taken at this stage the question stands over. I ask your ruling on the point.

MR. SPEAKER

It is for the hon. Member in charge of the Bill to appoint the date when the Bill will be taken unless the House should decide otherwise.

Mr. SPEAKER ascertained by the preponderance of voices that the House was in favour of Wednesday, 22nd June.

Committee to sit again on Wednesday, 22nd June.
