HC Deb 07 July 1948 vol 453 c538

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."—[Mr. G. Brown.]

12.10 a.m.

Colonel Gamine-Duncan (Perth and Kinross, Perth)

In the absence of the English agricultural experts who, with the Minister, appear to be at the Royal Show, as the one Scottish Member on these benches, may I say that we welcome this Bill and consider that it is a very great improvement. It will help a great deal in securing fair agricultural wages and will simplify agreements made under the Bill.

Bill accordingly read a Second time.

Bill committed to a Committee of the Whole House for Tomorrow.—[Mr. Simmons.]
