§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. HOWELL (Bethnal Green, N.E.)May I be allowed to say that an important communication representing the views of the shipowners of the United Kingdom in reference to this Bill has been received, and will, during the Recess, be most carefully considered by Members whose names are on the back of the Bill; and if the Bill is now given a Second Reading the Committee stage shall be fixed for a distant date?
§ SIR E. HARLAND (Belfast, N.)I object.
§ Second Reading deferred till Monday, 25th April.
