Order read for resuming adjourned debate on Amendment to the Question (30th June), "That the Bill be now read a second time."

Which Amendment was to leave out the word "now," and at the end of the Question to add the words "upon this day three months."—[Mr. Wardle.]

Question again proposed, "That the word 'now' stand part of the Question."

Mr. WARDLE

I desire, in withdrawing my Amendment, to make a short statement. It is true that the company have received a deputation, but the men have not received all the satisfaction which we think they ought to have. There are still one or two points outstanding, namely, the question of the annual general meeting of the members of the fund, and the question of a secret ballot. There is also dissatisfaction with regard to the representation which has been given. But as the company have made some advance on their previous position, and as at some future time there will be an opportunity of raising these questions, I desire to withdraw the Amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Main Question again proposed.

Mr. GINNELL

I object.

Mr. SPEAKER

The objection does not hold good. The Bill stands by Order for to-day.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill read a second time, and committed.
