§ Motion made that this Bill be read a Second time.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. T. W. RUSSELL,) Tyrone, S.said, that the Government did not object to the Second reading. Should the Bill reach the Committee stage, however, he would have to submit one or two drafting Amendments.

§ MR. H. BYRON REED (Bradford, E.)objected.
§ MR. H. C. F. LUTTRELL (Devon, Tavistock), appealed to the hon. Member to withdraw his opposition. The Bill dealt simply with a technical detail.
