HC Deb 06 March 1900 vol 80 c206
LORD BALCARRES (Lancashire, Chorley)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, in order to obtain a tribunal appointed on non-party lines, he is prepared to recommend that the Committee to whom the Electric energy Bills are to be entrusted shall be exclusively nominated by the Committee of Selection.

THE PRESIDENT OF THEBOARD OF TRADE (Mr. Ritchie,) Croydon

I think the House would act wisely if it referred these Bills to a Committee nominated as suggested in the question.
