§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ SIR FREDERICK BANBURY (Camberwell, Peckham)said he did not at this moment propose to move the rejection of this Bill, for reasons he would state. He objected principally to the Bill because it provided among other things for making a tramway along the Embankment from Waterloo Bridge to Westminster Bridge, and over Westminster Bridge. But inasmuch as there were other parts of the Bill which had the approval of the local authorities where these tramways lay, he did not see his way to object to the whole Bill, and he did not therefore desire to move the Motion standing in his name, but would content himself with moving an instruction which stood upon the Paper when the Bill had received its Second Heading.
§ SIR J. BLUNDELL MAPLE (Camberwell, Dulwich)said he much objected to trams going over Westminster Bridge. There was a very good service of busses, and this projected, line was not necessary. For reasons similar to those given by the Member who had just spoken, he did not propose to move the rejection of the Bill. He also would wait till a later stage.
The Bill was read a second time, and committed.
