§ Aberdeen Corporation Water Order Confirmation Bill.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."
§ Mr. ESSLEMONTMay I appeal to my hon. Friend to withdraw his objection? I think that Welsh Members might allow Scottish Members to deal with their own Private Bill legislation without interfering in this way.
§ Mr. HOGGEMay I join in that appeal? The hon. Member knows that Scottish distilleries are being shut down; he surely cannot object to Scotsmen getting water?
§ Objection withdrawn.
§ Bill read a second time, and ordered to be considered to-morrow (Thursday).
§ Gas Orders Confirmation Bill,
§ "To confirm certain Provisional Orders made by the Board of Trade under the Gas and Water Works Facilities Act, 1870, relating to Fleetwood Gas and Long Eaton Gas," presented by Mr. PRETYMAN; read the first time; referred to the Examiners of Petitions for Private Bills, and to be printed. [Bill 4.]
§ Local Government Provisional Orders (No. 1) Bill,
