HC Deb 20 July 1915 vol 73 c1458

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

Sir J. D. REES

I understood that the question whether a peer is to be capable of being a member of the Council of India and also of sitting in the House of Lords, was to be considered in the amending Bill?

Mr. CHARLES ROBERTS (Comptroller of the Household)

It is not for me to make any announcement on that point. I think in another place it was stated that this was a kind of subject which might properly be considered in connection with an amending Bill, but that it was entirely improper to consider it in connection with a Consolidation Bill.

Sir J. D. REES

Will the hon. man undertake to consider it?

Question put, and agreed to.
