HC Deb 07 August 1916 vol 85 c806

Considered in Committee; reported without Amendment.

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

Sir F. BANBURY

I think we have already in the last Bill allowed all stages to be taken, including the Third Reading. I dare say it is all right, but it is rather late in the evening, I think, to finish this Bill. I think the Third Reading ought to be taken to-morrow. I do not like taking so many stages of a Bill offhand.

Mr. J. SAMUEL

This is a very essential Bill.

Sir F. BANBURY

I dare say; I suppose they are all essential Bills.
