§ 64. Major GOLDMANasked the Chairman of Ways and Means whether he can state what portions of the Brentford Gas Company Bill the promoters intend to proceed with; and when the House will be asked to further consider the Second Reading of the Bill?
§ The CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS (Mr. Whitley)I am informed by the promoters of the Brentford Gas Bill that the provisions of the Bill relating to the acquisition of land at Chiswick Gas Works, described in Part I. of the Second Schedule of the Bill, will be withdrawn. As regards the remainder of the Bill, the promoters desire to postpone consideration until the House may have proceeded further with the Government Bill dealing 321 with statutory prices. I am unable, therefore, at the present time, to say when the other part of the Bill will be proceeded with.
