Moved, That a Committee of four Lords be appointed to join with a Committee of the House of Commons to consider whether it is expedient, and if so in what circumstances and subject to what conditions, to authorise the measurement of gas supplied by gas undertakers to consumers by means of meters so designed as to register in therms instead of in cubic feet.

That the Lords following be named of the Committee:—

That leave be given to the Committee to hear parties interested by themselves, their Counsel, or Agents, so far as the Committee think fit.

That such Committee have power to agree with the Committee of the House of Commons in the appointment of a Chairman.—(The Earl of Lucan.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.

Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Commons to acquaint them therewith, and to request them to appoint four members to be joined with the said Committee.
