HC Deb 20 May 1892 vol 4 cc1505-6

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Clause 1.

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

MR. F. S. POWELL (Wigan)

I hope the hon. Member will allow the Committee to proceed.

MR. BRUNNER (Cheshire, Northwich)

I join in the appeal, having my name on the back of what I believe to be an excellent Bill.

DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)

There is plenty of time to deal with the Bill, and no necessity now to rush it through in a few minutes.

SIR A. ROLLIT (Islington, S.)

I think there is general agreement in favour of the Bill.

MR. F. S. POWELL

The hon. Member must know as a Member of the Police and Sanitary Regulations Committee that what this Bill proposes has been approved over and over again by that Committee, and this is to embody it in the general law.

DR. TANNER

It is precisely from being a Member of that Committee I recognise the importance of dealing with such a matter as this deliberately.

Motion agreed to.

Committee report Progress; to sit again upon Monday next.
