Order for Third Reading read, and discharged.

Bill re-committed, in respect of an Amendment to Clause 2; considered in Committee, and Amendment made.

Bill reported; as amended, considered.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the third time."—(Mr. W. H. Smith.)

MAJOR NOLAN

asked the effect of the Amendment which had been moved by the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Admiralty; was it to limit the retirements to the officers receiving £425 a-year, instead of £400 a-year?

MR. W. H. SMITH

said, the effect of the Amendment was rather to make the scope of the Bill a little wider.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill read the third time, and passed.
