HC Deb 07 July 1898 vol 61 c276

Order of the day for the Second Reading read.

MR. CRILLY (Mayo, N.)

I object.

MR. SKEWES-COX (Surrey, Kingston)

May I appeal to the honourable Gentleman not to persist in his objection? This is a non-controversial Measure. It simply enables boroughs within the metropolitan area to apply for a scheme to have the same powers as a vestry or local board possesses for the regulation and maintenance of commons. The Bill has the approval of the Commons Preservation Society, and is not objected to by the Board of Agriculture.

MR. CRILLY

I object.

Second Reading deferred.

House adjourned at 12.5.
