ABSTRACT
THE SELECT COMMITTEE appointed to join with a Committee of the House of Lords to consider and report as to the principles which should govern powers given by Bills and Provisional Orders to Municipal and other Local Authorities for industrial enterprise within or without the area of their jurisdiction;——Have met and have examined many Witnesses, and are of opinion that having been appointed at a comparatively late period in the Session it is not possible to bring their Inquiry to a satisfactory conclusion during the present Session. They therefore recommend that they should be re-appointed during the next Session of Parliament, and have agreed to report the Minutes of Evidence taken before them, with an Appendix.
