§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord HALSBURY)My Lords, I have to move that my noble and learned Friend (Lord Thring) be added to the Joint Committee on this subject. I should explain that I should have originally inserted the noble and learned Lord's name on my list, but, inasmuch as he had taken a most active and useful part in the Committee, and as criticisms had been made upon that Committee's work, it was thought better that those who had been actively engaged upon it should not form part of the present Committee. The other House, however, have not taken that view, but have appointed some Members who have taken part in it, and therefore I see no reason why your Lordships should adhere to that opinion. I hope 814 the noble and learned Lord will have no objection to the Motion.
