47. Sir F. HALLasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether arrangements can be made for the speeches delivered to the Joint Select Committee by counsel in support of and in opposition to the Railway (Road Transport) Bills to be circulated to Members before further stages of the Bills are taken, so that they may be fully apprised of the arguments for and against the proposals?
Mr. SAMUELResponsibility for publication of the proceedings in connection with Private Bills falls on the Parliamentary agents. I have arranged for the hon. Member's suggestion to be brought to the notice of the parties concerned in the Bills to which he refers.
