On the Order for the Second Reading of this Bill,

, who was received with ironical cheers, made an appeal to hon. Members to allow this Bill to pass. There were 60,000 persons living in London lodging-houses who were in danger of becoming infested with vermin—

* MR. SPEAKER

I do not think any hon. Member is raising any objection to the Bill.

COLONEL LOCKWOOD (Essex, Epping)

We will not object as long as the other side will give us our Licensing Bill. [Laughter and cheers.]

Bill Read a Second time, amid ironical cheers, and committed for Monday next.
