HL Deb 22 July 1925 vol 62 c304

Order for the House to be put into Committee read.

LORD DANESFORT

My Lords, I beg to move that the House resolve itself into Committee on this Bill.

EARL BEAUCHAMP

My Lords, I desire to point out that this Bill received its Second Reading only on Monday last, and that is a very short period ago. Although I do not think the Bill is likely to meet with opposition I venture to suggest we should observe the general rule of allowing a full week to elapse between the Second Reading and Committee stages.

LORD DANESFORT

The Bill was accepted unanimously by your Lordships' House, but if the noble Earl presses me I shall not resist his appeal to adjourn the Committee stage of this Bill till a later stage.

Committee put off to Tuesday next.
