§ COMMITTEE.
§ Bill considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee.)
§ Clause 1 agreed to.
§ Clause 2.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Chairman do report Progress, and ask leave to sit again."—(Mr. Knox.)
§ MR. KNOWLES (Salford, W.)There is only one Amendment to the Bill, and the Bill practically consists of only one clause. Among those who take an interest in the matter there is a desire that the Bill should pass, as I 442 gather from individual Members with whom I have spoken. On the back of the Bill there is a memorandum which clearly sets out the object of the measure. The Bill does not apply to Ireland. I hope the hon. Member will allow the Bill to go through.
§ MR. KNOX (Cavan, W.)The hon. Member should take the House into his confidence, not only a few Members, and then probably we should agree with him.
§ MR. KNOWLESI have already made two statements in explanation.
§ Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
