HC Deb 18 November 1919 vol 121 c468

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Beck be added to the Select Committee on Land Values."—[Colonel Gibbs.]

Sir D. MACLEAN

I take this opportunity of expressing the regret of everybody in the House at the occasion, probably, of the addition of the hon. Member to this Committee. That is the death of Sir Thomas Whittaker, for very many years an honoured and most respected member of this House. His death is a loss to the House and a loss to the country. He was a man of strong and independent character, and the long record of his services to the public inside this House and outside it is one which will not be forgotten by those who had the honour and privilege of knowing him.

The remaining Orders wore read, and postponed.

Whereupon Mr. SPEAKER, pursuant to the Order of the House of the 22nd October, proposed the Question, "That this House do now adjourn."

Adjourned accordingly at Twenty-five minutes before Eight o'clock.
