§ On the consideration of this Bill,
§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGE (Carnarvon Boroughs)said that he did not intend to oppose the Bill, but he desired to say that last year a similar Bill had been opposed by the Welsh Members on the ground that it authorised the imposition of special railway rates which applied more particularly to the Carnarvon branch of the line. The present Measure, however, had been so altered that it applied only to the County of Flint, and he believed that another Bill dealing with the other Welsh counties would be introduced subsequently. In consequence of the alteration that had been made in the Measure, he no longer desired to oppose it. He thought that it was desirable that he should make this statement, in explanation of his action in withdrawing his opposition to the Measure.
§ Bill, as amended, considered, to be Read the Third time.
