HL Deb 08 June 1891 vol 353 c1813

House in Committee (according to Order)

THE EARL OF CAMPERDOWN

My Lords, at line 17, I propose to omit the words "Scotland or" for the purpose of extending the operation of this Bill to Scotland. I have had several applications made to me by managers of Industrial and Reformatory Schools, who are anxious that the provisions of the Bill should be applied to Scotland; and as, since the Second Reading was taken, I have made such inquiries as I can, and cannot find there is any probability of opposition to the Bill being so extended, I propose to omit those words.

LORD MONKSWELL

I will accept the Amendment with pleasure.

Amendment moved, in page 1, line 17, to leave out the words "Scotland or." —(The Earl of Camperdown.)

Amendment agreed to.

Bill committed to the Standing Committee.
