§ The Chairman of Committees (Lord Aberdare)My Lords, I beg to move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper. This Motion is one of a series of Motions that are normally moved at the end of each parliamentary Session to enable Private Bills which have not completed their passage through Parliament to be reintroduced in the next Session. The first four Bills on the Order Paper have all passed their Committee stage here and are awaiting Third Reading. The two marriage enabling Bills have had a Second Reading and will be examined by a Select Committee in the new Session. I beg to move.
Moved, That the promoters of the Bills have leave to suspend any further proceedings thereon, in order to proceed with the Bills, if they shall think fit, in the next Session of Parliament, provided that notice of their intention to do so be lodged in the office of the Clerk of the Parliaments not later than three o'clock on the day before the close of the present Session, and that all fees due thereon up to that period shall have been paid;
That such Bills shall be deposited in the office of the Clerk of the Parliaments not later than three o'clock on the third day on which the House shall sit after the commencement of the next Session of Parliament, with a declaration annexed to each, 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 Sitting;
That the proceedings on such Bills shall in the next Session of Parliament be pro forma only in regard to every stage through which the same shall have passed in the present Session, and that no new fees be charged to such stages;
509 That the Standing Orders by which the proceedings on Bills are regulated shall not apply in the next Session of Parliament to such Bills in regard to any of the stages through which the same shall have passed during the present Session.—(Lord Aberdare.)
On Question, Motion agreed to, and it was ordered that a Message be sent to the Commons to acquaint them therewith and to desire their concurrence in respect of the first four Bills.
