§ The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS (Mr. Whitley)I beg to move "That, in the case of the Electric Lighting Provisional Orders (No. 1) Bill [Lords], Electric Lighting Provisional Orders (No. 2) Bill [Lords], Electric Lighting Provisional Orders (No. 3) Bill [Lords], Electric Lighting Provisional Orders (No. 4) Bill [Lords], Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation (No. 1) Bill [Lords], Gas Orders Confirmation (No. 2) Bill [Lords], and Tramways Orders Confirmation Bill [Lords], Standing Order 211 be suspended, and that the Committee on the Bills have leave to sit and proceed on Thursday, 3rd August."
This Motion is to enable the Bills referred to be dealt with by the Committee on Unopposed Bills at its sitting on Thursday, although the six days will not then have expired. It is a usual Motion at this period of the Session. There are no petitions against the Bills, and consequently no one can be prejudiced by the shortened interval between Second Reading and Committee.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
