COWPER William (Chairman)

Special Report From The Select Committee on Metropolitan Commons Act 1866 Amendment Bill, Together with the Proceedings of the Committee and Minutes of Evidence (HOC 333)

London, House of Commons 1869 86pp 32x20, sewn pamphlet Front page grubby, some corners slightly creased and folded, edges a bit ragged, good thus for fragile item The 1866 Metropolitan Commons Act gave local authorities in and around London (and after a private members bill, Norwich) the power to raise money via the rates to spend on maintaining and protecting common land; the Amendment Bill aimed to make various changes and extensions to the scope of the original Act. The Select Committee decided that while the changes might be desirable, not enough time had elapsed since the Act had become law to justify the changes. Nonetheless the Bill was passed as the Metropolitan Commons Amendment Act 1869.William Cowper was the stepson of Palmerston and nephew of Lord Melbourne; while not quite as successful as these, he nonetheless had a distinguished Parliamentary career, and is perhaps best known for the "Cowper-Temple Clause" (his full name, which he took in 1869 when inherited his mother's estates) to the 1870 Education Act, which said that religious education in state schools should be non-denominational.
