HL Deb 22 July 1901 vol 97 cc1105-6
THE DUKE OF ABERCORN,

who had given notice to move that certain noble Lords be named of the Select Committee to consider the Report and recommendations of the Try Commission, said: My Lords, I have come with considerable reluctance to the conclusion that the Committee had better stand over until next session. There would, of course, be no time for it to report this year, and therefore any sittings that it might hold would practically be time wasted. Besides, certain noble Lords whom I have named to serve are not anxious to be on the Committee, whilst others whose names are not included are exceedingly desirous to take part in the inquiry. Under those circumstances I deem it better to postpone the appointment, and I trust the Government will next year assent to the inquiry taking place.
