* LORD BALFOURMy Lords, I ask your Lordships to suspend the Sessional Order in respect of the Local Government Provisional Confirmation Order Bill (No. 3). This Bill confirms certain orders for the alteration of districts in Yorkshire. They are issued under the Public Health Act, 1875, but upon the passing of Agricultural Holdings Act last year they became still more complicated, and required still 1386 more negotiation and arrangement. In addition to that, it was also found necessary, at a late stage of the proceedings, to make certain important additions in regard to Burial Boards which exist in that part of the country. Under these circumstances, looking at the very complicated nature of the negotiations, and arrangements, and that they have now been brought to a successful conclusion, and that matters are now in a satisfactory position, I ask your Lordships to suspend the Sessional Order.
§
Moved, That the Order made on the 5th day of March last,
That no Bill brought from the House of Commons confirming any Provisional Order or Provisional Certificate shall be read a second time after Friday, the 28th day of June next,
be dispensed with, and that the Bill be read 2a; agreed to: Bill read 2a accordingly, and committed to a Committee of the whole House on Monday next.
