§ House in Committee (according to Order).
* LORD BALFOUR OF BURLEIGHAs the Lord President had stated yesterday his willingness to answer questions, I should like to ask what is the object of Clause 5 of the Bill which repeals provisions in former Acts authorising grants of lands for churches and chapels on certain conditions? As he had not given notice he would postpone it if desired.
THE EARL OF ROSEBERYsuggested that the noble Lord should put down his Amendment for Third Reading. Though prepared yesterday, he 893 was not enabled to answer questions on this occasion.
§ Bill reported without amendment.
§ Standing Committee negatived, and Bill to be read 3a on Thursday next.
