HL Deb 05 May 1865 vol 178 c1531
EARL STANHOPE

said, he had a Resolution to move, the object of which was to give to that House some control over the appointment of its own Committees—for at present no such control existed. In the House of Commons a similar want had been felt for many years, but it was at last fully and completely removed. He begged to move— That with regard to Select Committees of this House, other than those on Private Bills, Notice of any Motion for naming the Lords to serve on such Committee, or for adding any Lord to such Committee, or for substituting any other Lord for any Lord named on such Committee, shall be given and entered among the printed Notices for the Day or previous to the Day on which such Motion shall be made."—(The Earl Stanhope.)

Motion agreed to.
