§ Commons Amendment to Lords Amendments and Commons Reasons for disagreeing to one of the Amendments made by the Lords considered (according to Order).
648§ Clause 8 (Power to suspend temporarily restrictive provisions of Act) omitted by the Lords; re-inserted by the Commons.
§ LORD HENNIKERproposed to agree to the re-instatement of the clause, but to disagree to the Commons Amendment to the new Clause B, inserted by their Lordships, with one exception—namely, to omit the words "hay-harvest" from the new clause.
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYthought the power should comprehend the period of the hay as well as of the corn-harvest. He thought, however, it would be best to adhere to their Lordships' original decisions and omit the clause altogether.
§ After a few words from The Earl of KIMBERLEY,
§ On Question, whether to insist? Resolved in the Negative.
