§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ 3.57 p.m.
§ Mr. Manningham-Buller (Daventry)I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."
The proposals in this Bill are, I think, entirely uncontroversial. They are fully set out in the Explanatory Memorandum. The Bill is designed to correct some anomalies which now exist with regard to the Divorce Law and raises no controversial issues. I hope it will meet with support from all sides of the House. It may be that hon. Members may wish to raise some other point later on, but these particular points are, I am sure, worthy of being added to the law of our land.
§ Mr. Charles Williams (Torquay)I beg to second the Motion.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Bill read a Second time, and committed to a Standing Committee.
