HC Deb 15 June 1892 vol 5 cc1213-4

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Clause 1.

(5.52.) DR. CLARK (Caithness)

I beg to move to report Progress. This, I think, would be a good opportunity for getting rid of a charge upon the Imperial Revenue for a purely local purpose in London. If we postpone the clause we may amend it, and confer jurisdiction upon the County Council so far as inspection is concerned.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Chairman do report Progress, and ask leave to sit again."—(Dr. Clark.)

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

I hope my hon. Friend will not persist in his Motion. He suggests a large question; and in the principle I am disposed to agree with him, but I do not think it can be raised now.

Motion, by leave, withdrawn.

Bill reported, without Amendment; to be read the third time To-morrow.
