HC Deb 21 March 1932 vol 263 cc839-40

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."

HON. MEMBERS

Object!

Sir AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

May I appeal to the hon. Gentleman who sits below me to withdraw his objection? For a very long time we have tried to get this Bill sent to Committee for examination. It has nothing to do with any present-day controversy. It is a Bill for giving a real meaning to certain trade terms which have no statutory meaning at present, and to stop a practice which favours the dishonest trader at the expense of the honest trader.

Mr. MANDER

I desire to respond to the appeal that has been made by my right hon. Friend.

The remaining Orders were read, and postponed
