HC Deb 20 May 1901 vol 94 c720

Motion made and Question proposed, "That it be an Instruction to the Committee appointed to inquire into the system of Subsidies to Steamship Companies under Foreign Governments, and the effect thereby produced on British trade; that they do also report on similar bounties relating to sailing ships."—(Mr. Lawrence.)

Objection taken.

MR. LAWRENCE (Liverpool, Abercromby)

said he hoped the hon. Member would not press his objection, as the Motion was only to extend the reference to the Committee to sailing ships.

MR. TULLY (Leitrim, S.)

said he would object as long as hon. Members opposite objected to the Roman Catholic Disabilities Bill.

Resolution deferred.

Adjourned twenty-five minutes after Twelve of the clock.
