HL Deb 25 June 1878 vol 241 c208

(Earl Beauchamp.)

EARL BEAUCHAMP

, in moving— That the Order of the 5th of February last, which limits the time for the second reading of Bills authorizing any inclosure of lands under special report of the Inclosure Commissioners for England and Wales be dispensed with, with respect to this Bill, and that the Bill be now read a second time, said, that when this Bill was in the House of Commons, complaint was made that the Standing Orders of the House of Lords gave but little opportunity for the House of Commons to consider Provisional Order Bills; and this Bill had been, no doubt, delayed beyond the time prescribed by the Standing Order; but as the object of these Orders was only to give due notice to proprietors affected by the Bills, and that object had been even more fully attained by the discussion which had taken place in the House of Commons, he hoped the House would agree to his Motion.

Motion agreed to; Bill read 2a accordingly.
