§ THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (THE EARL OF DONOUGHMORE) had given Notice to move—
§ "That the promoters of the Bill have leave to suspend any further proceedings thereon, in order to proceed with the Bill, if they shall think fit, in the next session of Parliament, provided that notice of their intention to do so be lodged in the Private Bill Office not later than three o'clock on the day prior to the close of the present session, and that all fees due thereon up to that period be paid;
§ "That such Bill shall be deposited in the Private Bill Office not later than three o'clock on or before the third day on which the House shall sit after the next meeting of Parliament, with a declaration annexed thereto, signed by the agent, stating that the Bill is the same in every respect as the Bill at the last stage of the proceedings thereon in this House in the present session;
§ "That the proceedings on such Bill shall be pro formâ only in regard to every stage through which the same shall have passed in the present session, and that no new fees be charged in regard to such stages;
§ "That the Standing Orders by which the proceedings on Bills are regulated shall not apply to such Bill in regard to any of the stages through which the same shall have passed during the present session;
§ "That all petitions presented in the present session against the Bill stand referred to the Committee on the same Bill in the next session of Parliament.''
§ The noble Earl said: My Lords, with reference to the Motion which stands in my name as regards the Ministry of Health Provisional Order (Cardiff Extension) Bill, this Bill reached your Lordships' House last week, and the time for petitioning expired yesterday afternoon. Three petitions have been deposited, but it is quite 672 obvious that it is impossible for your Lordships adequately to consider such a Bill in Committee at this period of the session. I beg to move this Motion which stands in my name. I understand my noble friend who represents the Ministry of Health agrees.
§ Moved accordingly, and, on Question, Motion agreed to.
