§ House in Committee (according to order); and Amendments proposed by the Chairman of Committee's Committee made.
584§ Moved, "That the Standing Committee be negatived."—(Lord Windsor.)
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (The Earl of HALSBURY)Why is it proposed to negative the Standing Committee?
§ THE ACTING CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (Lord BALFOUR OF BURLEIGH)My Lords, I think it reasonable that the Standing Committee should be negatived because this partakes largely of the nature of a private Bill. It has been before me in the ordinary procedure, and I think it more appropriate that it should not go to the Standing Committee.
§ On Question, Standing Committee negatived; the Report of Amendments to be received to-morrow.
