HL Deb 06 April 1900 vol 81 c1385

Order of the Day for the Third Reading read.

LORD WINDSOR

I have just had a communication from the Charity Commissioners stating that they adhere to their objection to Sub-section 2 of Clause 5, and they desire that it should be omitted. As I have not been able to print any Amendment, I imagine that I must postpone the Third Reading of the Bill. The Amendment would also entail the omission from the schedule of Section 16 of the Public Libraries Act, 1892, which I wished to repeal, because Clause 5 of this Bill practically transferred the powers given to the Charity Commissioners under the Act of 1892. I must ask the House to allow me to postpone the Third Reading of the Bill till Monday next at 12.30.

Third Reading (by leave of the House) put off to Monday next.
