HC Deb 04 June 1919 vol 116 cc2175-6

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—[Sir F. Banbury.]

Colonel GRETTON

I beg to move, "That the Debate be now adjourned."

This is a most remarkable Bill, but hon. Members who are so much occupied in the business connected with Standing Committees upstairs really have no time to go to the Vote Office and inquire into the character of these private measures. I think most Members are ignorant of the contents of this Bill. I make this Motion in order that the Bill may be studied before the House comes to a decision whether or not it shall receive a Second Reading.

Mr. MARRIOTT

I beg to second the Motion.

Debate to be resumed to-morrow.

The remaining Orders were read and postponed.

Adjourned accordingly at One minute after Eleven o'clock.
