§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ 10.36 p.m.
§ The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Captain Crookshank)I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."
This is a formal Measure, which is usually introduced as soon as possible after the Finance Bill has been disposed of. It is passed annually in order to confirm the Customs Resolutions of the Manx Legislature and to make amendments in the law relating to the Isle of Man Customs administration, similar to those made in respect of Customs administration in the last Isle of Man Customs Act. The Isle of Man has a separate existence. It is completely free in respect of its Customs duties and levies, but these are subject to confirmation by this Parliament. I do not think there is any necessity to go further into the matter, but if any hon. Member wishes to ask any questions I will do my best to answer them.
§ Question put,-and agreed to.
§ Bill read a Second time.
§ Bill committed to a Committee of the Whole House for To-morrow.—[Captain Margesson.]
