§ Amendment reported (according to Order).
§ LORD REDESDALErepeated the objections urged in Committee against the constitution of the Imperial Courts of Appeal, and also contended that under the system proposed by the Bill there would be the risk of a conflict of authority between Committees of Privileges in their Lordships' House and the new Court.
THE LORD CHANCELLORobserved that as to the constitution of the Imperial Court of Appeal, he had already said everything he had to say on that point. With respect to the other objections his noble Friend started on the false hypothesis that at present there could be no conflict between decisions on privilege and decisions by Courts of Law. At present there was a risk of such conflict, and just the same risk would remain after the passing of this Bill.
§ Further Amendments made; Bill to be read 2a on Thursday next; and to be printed as amended. (No. 128).
