Mr. CORRIEGRANT (Warwickshire, Rugby)in moving that it be an instruction to the Committee of Selection to refer, if they think fit, the Liverpool Corporation (Streets and Buildings) Bill to the Police and Sanitary Committee, said the Bill was one of the nature usually dealt with by the Police and Sanitary Committee, but by a flaw in the Order it was technically excluded from it. Hence his Motion which he hoped the House would agree to.
§ MR. LAYLAND-BARRATT (Devonshire, Torquay)seconded.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That it be an instruction to the Committee of Selection to refer, if they think fit, the Liverpool Corporation (Streets and Buildings) Bill to the Police and Sanitary Committee."—(Mr. Carrie Grant.)
845§ Mr. WILLIAM RUTHERFORD (Liverpool, West Derby)asked if this course was likely to delay the passage of the Bill. If he had an assurance that it would involve no serious delay he would not oppose the Motion.
§ Mr. CORRIE GRANTsaid that hitherto the Police and Sanitary Committee had got through its work at a reasonable period of the session, and would, no doubt, deal with this Bill without delay when it came before them. But the date of its being before them did not depend on the Committee.
§ Mr. WILLIAM RUTHERFORDUnder these circumstances I do not object to the Motion.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Ordered accordingly.
