§ As amended, considered.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the Third time."
366§ 12.7 a.m.
§ Mr. Pethick-LawrenceI do not wish to detain the House for long, as I dealt at some length with the provisions of the Bill on the Second Reading last Friday, but I feel that I cannot let the Third Reading pass without saying a few words. I hope that this epoch-making Measure will suffice to achieve the objects which the Government have in view in bringing it forward. I hope that the credits which are being provided here, which may involve the taxpayer in a considerable amount of expenditure, will do all the good required, and that there will be no further need to make public provision of this kind. I hope, further, that the object of this Bill, the bringing to an end of the grave international situation with which we are faced, will be achieved without the necessity for a further Measure of this kind.
