§ As amended, considered.
§ Mr. WILLIAM THORNEIt is not my intention to delay the House more than a few moments. The Bill that is under consideration has very far-reaching effects, because it affects thousands of gas consumers in London and in the borough of West Ham. The reason that I put down the Resolution that stands in my name is because there is some difference between the West Ham Corporation and the Gas Company. I am under the impression that between now and the final stage of the third reading there is the possibility of an agreement between the Gas Company and the West Ham Corporation. That being so, I do not intend to move my Resolution.
§ Bill to be read the third time.
