Order for Third Reading read.

Mr. SPEAKER

What day?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Commander Eyres Monsell)

Thursday.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

May I ask why the Third Reading of this Bill is being postponed?

Mr. SPEAKER

Does the hon. and gallant Member rise to a point of Order?

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

I do not know whether it is a point of Order, but I want to point out that, when business was announced, we were told that this Order would be taken after eleven o'clock to-night, and I am asking why the Government are now postponing it.

Mr. SPEAKER

The Government apparently have thought better of it.

Third Reading deferred until Thursday.
