§ Mr. Blake, Mr. Sydney Buxton, Sir John Dorington, Sir William Hart Dyke, Dr. Farquharson, Mr. Fenwick, Mr. Halsey, Mr. McKenna, Sir Mark McTaggart Stewart, and Mr. Wharton were nominated members of the Committee of Selection together with the Chairman of the Select Committee on Standing Orders.—(Mr. Halsey.)
§ MR. JOHN ELLIS (Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe)took exception to the Standing Order by which the Committee was deprived of the power of selecting its own Chairman. It had a good reason in its origin but now that the Committee of Selection had become of such importance this had ceased to operate. He did not propose to take action now but certainly hoped to do so sometime.
