HC Deb 14 March 1905 vol 142 c1462

[SECOND READING.]

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time. "

SIR JOSEPH DIMSDALE (London)

remarked that on the distinct understanding that the whole of the clauses of the Bill were expunged with the exception of Part 8, Clauses 95 to 109, he did not oppose the Second Reading. The City Corporation reserved to themselves the right to take what course they deemed proper when the Bill came before a Committee of the House.

MR. JOHN BURNS (Battersea)

I have nothing to add to the statements already made.
