HL Deb 18 April 1902 vol 106 c629

On the Order for going into Committee on this Bill—

THE EARL OF HALSBURY

said to he had received many suggestions in the way of Amendments. He did not intend to put down the Bill for the Standing Committee until a considerable interval had elapsed, probably three weeks, in order to allow those interested to consider the Bill as it stood, to make suggestions, and to arrive at some kind of agreement, for unless there was an agreement the Bill would have difficulty I in passing through the House of Commons.

House in Committee (according to order); Bill reported without Amendment; and re-committed to the Standing Committee.
