HC Deb 24 May 1892 vol 4 c1783

Ordered— That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire and report as to the cost and method of the publication of the Debates and Proceedings in Parliament.—(Mr. Akers-Douglas.)

MR. TIMOTHY HEALY (Longford, N.)

Before the right hon. Gentleman proceeds to the nomination of the Members to serve on this Committee will he say upon what basis the selection has been made?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. AKERS-DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Augustine's

The usual course has been followed after due consultation with Members on either side to secure a Committee of a representative character.

DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)

I object.

MR. JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)

Perhaps the hon. Member would be satisfied if two directors of the Freeman's Journal were added to the Committee.

MR. SPEAKER

Objection being taken, the nomination stands over.
