HC Deb 23 November 1909 vol 13 c122

The Estates Commissioners may, by order, delegate all or any of their powers to any one or two of their number, and anything done by any one or two of the Estates Commissioners in pursuance of any such delegation shall be as valid and effectual as if it were done by all the Estates Commissioners.

Lords Amendment: To leave out Clause 27.

Mr. BIRRELL

This was an excellent Clause, a suggestion of my own, with a view to facilitating the transaction of business and getting rid of the block which every one laments, but it was rejected by both sides, and I now move to agree with the Lords Amendment to leave out the Clause.
