HC Deb 19 June 1893 vol 13 c1424

Bill considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

MR. HOWELL (Bethnal Green, N.E.)

said, be only asked the House to take a formal step. The Bill must be amended by including Amendments agreed to by the Treasury.

* SIR F. S. POWELL (Wigan)

said, that if it was only desired to take a step pro formâ he would not object. But he was sure the Bill would have to be most carefully considered, and it would probably have to be referred either to a Select Committee or one of the Standing Committees.

THE CHAIRMAN

The Question is that the Amendments be inserted.

MR. TOMLINSON (Preston)

What are the Amendments?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT,) Oldham

They are Amendments agreed to by the Treasury. It is desirable that they should be seen by Members of the House generally before they are added to the Bill.

Amendments inserted.

MR. HOWELL
