§ MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N)I beg to move that the Committee do not agree to the Preamble unless we Can have it fully explained by the Lord Advocate. As it is drafted, it is unintelligible and meaningless, and it is impossible to understand it.
THE CHAIRMANIt is unnecessary to move the rejection of the Preamble. All that is requisite is to say" No" to the Question that the Preamble stand part of the Bill.
