THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (LORD BALFOUR OF BURLEIGH)My Lords, there is a notice in my name on the Paper with reference to the Metropolitan Water Board (New Works) Bill. I have to move that the time for depositing petitions praying to be heard against the Bill be extended to Wednesday next. I explained the reasons for this the other day, and I think they were generally understood by the House. I beg now to make the Motion.
§ Moved, That the time for depositing petitions praying to be heard against the said Bill be extended to Wednesday next.—(The Chairman of Committees.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
