HL Deb 16 May 1862 vol 166 c1785

On the Motion of Lord REDESDALE, Standing Order No. 179 amended by adding the following Words; namely— That the Chairman of Committees shall, in any case in which he shall think fit, propose to the House, that any Bill in either of the two classes before mentioned shall, after such Bill has been reported, be committed to a Committee of the Whole House; in which case such Bill, printed as reported, shall be delivered by the promoters to the Lords in the same manner as papers printed by this House are delivered, at least two days before the day for which the same is committed. In acting on this Order the Chairman of Committees is to take care that no Bill is allowed to proceed as a Private Bill, because it may be committed to a Committee of the Whole House which would not have been allowed to proceed as such without being so committed.
