HC Deb 20 April 1934 vol 288 cc1306-7

Sir G. ELLIS

I beg to move, "That the Schedule be read a Second time." This is the Schedule to which I have already referred. It sets out the provisions of the Bill which do not apply to statutory arbitrations.

Question put, and agreed to.

Schedule added to the Bill.

Bill reported; as amended, considered.

Sir G. ELLIS

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

The only alterations which have been made in the Bill since it came from another place, are those which have just been discussed in the Committee and it is not necessary to weary the House with technical details in asking hon. Members to give the Bill its Third Beading.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

May I offer my congratulations to my hon. Friend and all those associated with the promotion of this Bill. It is a technical and complicated Measure but is an extremely useful addition to a branch of the law on arbitration which affects many people and many contracts. It will allow of certain deficiencies which have made themselves apparent being remedied Anybody who is familiar with the subject knows that a Bill of this kind must have required a great deal of care in its preparation and I congratulate those responsible for the work that they have done in the matter.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill read the Third time, and passed, with Amendments.
