HC Deb 18 August 1911 vol 29 c2241
The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS (Mr. Whitley)

I beg to move, "That Standing Order 204 be suspended, and that the Bill be now read a second time." I may explain that this Bill affects an officer who is on leave, and who has to return to India in November or early in December. If the House will agree to the Motion it will enable the Select Committee to deal with the Bill as soon as the House resumes in October.

Question put, and agreed to.

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

Mr. BOOTH

May I ask if the Bill will come before the Committee in the ordinary way if the Second Reading is passed now?

Mr. WHITLEY

That is so.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read a second time, and committed.
