THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (THE EARL OF ONSLOW)My Lords, I beg to move the Motion standing in my name 956 extending the time limited by the Order of March 23 last for the Second Reading of Private and Provisional Order Confirmation Bills brought from the House of Commons to June 30 next. I understand that it has been arranged that your Lordships shall adjourn over Whitsun until June 23, and I think it would be hardly fair to promoters of Private Bills that they should only be given until the actual day of the reassembling of the House. I therefore propose to extend the period for a further week—namely, to June 30.
Moved, "That the time limited by the order of March 23 last for the Second Reading of Private and Provisional Order Confirmation Bills brought from the House of Commons be extended: to, June 30 next."—(The Earl of Onslow.)
On Question, Motion agreed to.
