HL Deb 12 June 1855 vol 138 c1859

On the Motion for going into Committee on this Bill,

LORD REDESDALE

said, that he intended to propose an Amendment, the effect of which would be to enable the boards of guardians to extend the benefit of education not merely to the pauper children, but to those poor persons who were on the verge of pauperism. But of course, as he could not move such an Amendment himself when in the chair, he must only leave it to the noble Earl and to the House to deal with it.

THE EARL OF BURLINGTON

said, he should not object to such an Amendment himself; but as it would alter the character of the Bill, and might endanger its passing elsewhere, he thought it better not to adopt it.

House in Committee: Bill reported without further Amendment; and to be read 3a on Friday next.
