§ THE PRIME MINISTER AND LORD-PRIVY SEAL (The Marquess of SALISBURY)My Lords, I rise to move the 9 motion standing in my name. We discussed this matter last year†, and it is not necessary to raise the question again. I do not think that any good would he attained by proving that the constitution of Queen Anne's Bounty Board is complicated and antiquated, for I do not imagine that anybody would maintain the other side.
§
Moved to resolve—
That it is expedient that a Select Committee be appointed to join with a Committee of the Commons to consider the constitution of Queen Anne's Bounty Board, and to report whether economy and efficiency of administration would be promoted by any change in its constitution or by its amalgamation with any other body."—(The Marquess of Salisbury.)
§ On Question, agreed to, and a message ordered to be sent to the Commons to acquaint them therewith.
