§ (3.0.) Motion made and Question proposed, "That Sir Charles Cayzer, Mr. Evelyn Cecil, Mr. Cust, Colonel Denny, Mr. Duke, Mr. Joyce, Mr. W. F. Lawrence, Mr. Norman, Mr. Nussey, Mr. Price, Mr. William Redmond, Colonel Ropner, Sir Edward Sassoon, Mr. Alfred Thomas, and Sir Edgar Vincent, be members of the Committee; that the evidence taken before the Select Committee on Steamship Subsidies in the last Session of Parliament be referred to the Select Committee; that the Committee have power to send for persons, papers, and records; that five be the quorum."—(Sir William Walrond.)
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)said that Sir Charles Cayzer and two other Gentlemen proposed as members of the Committee were connected with the shipping interest. He consequently opposed this Motion, although he would not divide the House against it, because he did not think it proper that hon. Gentlemen should serve on Select Committees 1130 which were appointed to deal with subjects in which they might be personally interested. This Committee could not, he contended, be in any true sense of the word a judicial Committee, if Sir Charles Cayzer was a member of it.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
