§ Sub-section (6) of Section eighty-six of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, shall be construed as if the words 'or any motorcar used by any local authority for fire brigade purposes' were added at the end thereof.
§ Clause read a second time, and added to the Bill.
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEMay I make an appeal to the House now to, if possible, make a little more rapid progress, having regard to the lateness of the hour, and to the fact that we sat up very late last night? I do not know that there is very much left. I understand that there are several Amendments on the Paper which are not going to be moved. I should like to know from the right hon. Gentleman what his view is with regard to the position.
§ Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINIt is no pleasure for me to sit up, I assure the right hon. Gentleman. I cannot give him anything more than the assurance that the undertaking we gave will be carried out. We must finish this stage of the Bill at one sitting. Many of my hon. Friends have very much curtailed their remarks, and they are not moving many of their Amendments. I am sure that nobody will at this time of night use up any unnecessary 2298 time. I cannot, of course, at this stage forecast the exact moment at which we shall rise.
