§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYI hope this Bill is going to be allowed to pass. It is not yet Eleven o'clock, and I think I am entitled to make a one—minute speech in moving it. This Bill is urgently required. I do not know the reason why one or two Members have been blocking it. I do not see them in the House at the present time, and I hope, therefore. the House will allow the Bill to pass Second Reading. It is admitted that certain Amendments are required, and they can be put in in Committee. If the Bill is passed a very grave scandal on the life of the people of this country will be removed.
