Read a second time, and committed.

Ordered, That it be an Instruction to the Committee on the Bill that they have power to inquire into and report upon the sufficiency of the present sources of water supply of the Manchester Corporation to meet their obligations and into and upon any other sources available for such supply, and to consider whether power should be given to the corporation to to make use of Haweswater in addition to the use which they already have of Thirlmere; and, if so, how far and under what conditions, and what rights the local authorities of the districts situated between Haweswater and Manchester should have to participate in the water supplies of the corporation from the Lake District.—[Mr. Sugden.]
