§ Amendments reported (according to Order).
§ VISCOUNT MIDLETONproposed an Amendment in Clause 9, with the view of adding to the Bill a second Schedule, in which should be included various works which the Commission had recommended should be subjected to inspection. His belief was that two or three additional Inspectors would be sufficient to carry out that Schedule throughout the United Kingdom. The expense would be about £2,000 a-year, and the public benefit that would accrue from such a system of inspection would, he was convinced, be more than commensurate with its cost. If, however, the Government still intended to oppose the insertion of the second Schedule, which was really the third part of the Bill of last year, as recommended by the Commissioners, he did not see that he had much chance of inducing them to carry any measure which contained those provisions through the House of Commons.
