HC Deb 29 June 1921 vol 143 cc2293-5

As amended (in the Standing Committee) considered.

Motion made, and question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the Third time."

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

I do not know if the Government will take the Third Reading, with only five minutes to spare? [HON. MEMBERS: "Why not?"] In any case, I mean to make one or two very brief remarks upon it. Hon. Members will recollect that this Bill was taken through its Second Reading with very little Debate late at night. It has been upstairs to a Committee, and, I understand, has received very little Amendment. It is now brought down for Third Reading. Since the statement of the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade on the Second Reading—

Mr. SPEAKER

I find that the Bill originated in Committee of the Whole House, and that, therefore, the Third Reading will have to be put down for another day.

Bill to be read the Third time To-morrow.
