HC Deb 08 July 1918 vol 108 cc1-2

Rotherham Corporation Bill,

As amended, considered.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS (Sir Donald Maclean)

I beg to move, "That Standing Orders 223 and 243 be suspended, and that the Bill be now read the third time."

Mr. BOOTH

May I ask what is the special reason for this Motion?

Sir D. MACLEAN

The reason for the Motion which I have just moved is that at this time of the Session it becomes rather difficult to get business through in the other House. The Motion is for the purpose of sending this Bill to the other House with rather more expedition than would otherwise be the case. It is a form of Motion which is quite usual at this time of the year.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the third time, and passed
