§ THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (VISCOUNT HAILSHAM)My Lords, I beg to move that Standing Order No. 41 be considered in order to its being 780 dispensed with for the purpose of passing the Milford Haven Conservancy Bill through its remaining stages.
§ Moved, That Standing Order No. 41 be considered in order to its being dispensed with for the purpose of passing the Milford Haven Conservancy Bill through its remaining stages.—(Viscount Hailsham.)
§ LORD SILKINMy Lords, we on this side of the House are perfectly agreeable that this step should be taken, but I should like to utter a word of warning. We are quite willing that this particular Bill should be expedited, but we should not like this to be a precedent and/or to happen too often. We do appreciate a separate Report stage and a separate Third Reading.
§ VISCOUNT HAILSHAMMy Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for his consideration in this particular case, and I am in sympathy with him in his anxiety that it should not be regarded as a normal practice.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to, and ordered accordingly.
