§ Order of the Day read for the House to be put into Committee on re-commitment of the Bill.
556THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEESMy Lords, before I put the Motion that this House go into Committee, I think that, for your convenience, I should explain the procedure which I suggest you should follow in dealing with this Bill. When the Bill was before me in the Unopposed Bill Committee there was a provision in the Bill which I was not certain came within the authority derived from the original Act, and as I was not satisfied, and had no reason given me for its inclusion, I struck it out. A representative of the Ministry of Transport has since communicated with me, and I am now satisfied that it is right and proper that the Bill should be in its original form. I therefore propose, when we go into Committee, to put the Question that the Amendment proposed in the Select Commitee be negatived.
§ Moved, That the House do now resolve itself into Committee.—(Lord Somer-leyton.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
§ House in Committee accordingly.
§ [The EARL OF DONOUGHMORE in the Chair.]
§ Amendment proposed by the Committee negatived: Bill reported without amendment.
