HC Deb 11 August 1911 vol 29 c1491

As amended, further considered.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS (Mr. Whitley)

I beg to move that "Standing Orders 223 and 243 be suspended, and that the Bill be now read the third time."

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I object.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS

I think the hon. Gentleman is under a misapprehension.

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

One of the hon. Members for Middlesex who is not here now objects, and it is on his behalf that I object.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS

The hon. Gentleman cannot know what took place this morning before the House met.

Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

I do not propose to oppose this Bill any further, but one hon. Member for Middlesex, who is greatly interested in this matter, is not here now.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS

Then I will not now press the Motion.

Further consideration deferred till Monday next at a quarter past Eight of the clock.
