§ Order for Third Reading read.
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. STUART-WORTLEY) (Sheffield, Hallam)said, he did not rise to oppose the Bill, but to state the view of the Government. The principle of the Bill the Government approved; and, in fact, in "another place" they had introduced a Bill applying that principle to a larger area. He only now rose to give the House to understand that, though in deference to the wish of the strong Committee to which this Bill had been referred, they did not wish to infere with its progress, it must be with the understanding that "elsewhere" they might possibly give that preference to their own measure that would not tend to the passing of this Bill into law.
§ Bill read the third time, and passed.
