HC Deb 25 June 1925 vol 185 cc1681-2

As amended, considered.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Standing Orders 223 and 243 be suspended, and that the Bill be now read the Third time."—[The Chairman of Ways and Means.]

Mr. NEIL MACLEAN

May I ask whether an explanation is going to be given as to the necessity for suspending these Standing Orders?

The CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS (Mr. James Hope)

I understand that the hon. Member does not object, but that he only wishes to obtain information. In the case of a Bill originating in this House at this period of the Session, it is desirable, in order to get through the Private Business, to take two stages in one. I have heard no objection to this Bill.

Mr. MACLEAN

I do not see anything in the Bill which justifies the suspension of the Standing Orders. There is nothing urgent which requires the Bill to be passed immediately.

Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
