Mrs. PHILIPSON

I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read the Third time."

I would take this opportunity of thanking Members of all parties for the way in which they have helped in passing this Bill. That the Bill was really necessary there was not the slightest doubt in the minds of the Members who sat on the Committee. I feel sure that the Bill will be a great benefit not only to the nursing profession but to the public.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill read the Third time, and passed.

The remaining Government Orders were read, and postponed.

Whereupon, Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER adjourned the House, without Question put, pursuant to Standing Order No. 3, until Monday next, pursuant to the Order of the House of 8th November.

Adjourned at One Minute before Three o'Clock.
