§ LORD HUNSDON OF HUNSDONMy Lords, I beg to move the Resolution in my name standing on the Paper.
§ Moved, That a Committee of seven Lords be appointed to join with a Committee of the House of Commons to consider how far it would be desirable in the case where a Bill had passed through the House of Commons but where there was not sufficient time properly to consider it in the House of Lords to carry the Bill over so that in the next Session of the same Parliament, notwithstanding the Prorogation, the consent of the House of Commons given in the previous Session might remain effective, and the proceedings on the Bill be recommenced or resumed in the House of Lords:
§ That the Lords following, with the Chairman of Committees, be named of the Committee—
- L. Desart (E. Desart),
- L. Charnwood,
- L. Cozens-Hardy,
- L. Muir Mackenzie,
- L. Hunsdon of Hunsdon,
- L. Davidson of Lambeth:
§ That such Committee have power to agree with the Committee of the House of Commons in the appointment of a Chairman.—(Lord Hunsdon of Hunsdon.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
§ Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Commons to acquaint them therewith, and to request them to appoint seven members of that House to be joined with the said Committee.
§ House adjourned during pleasure.
§ House resumed.
