§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ 2.27 p.m.
§ Sir Hugh Linstead (Putney)I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
This and the three following Bills are designed to secure the approval of Parliament for schemes prepared by the Charity Commissioners, and in various ways they are designed to bring the charities up-to-date. The purpose of this first Bill is to remove a restriction which at present exists on the letting of property owned by this charity.
The scheme of the Charity Commissioners has been publicised, and no objections have been received to it. For that reason I can commend the Bill to the House.
§ Mr. Humphrey Atkins (Merton and Morden)I beg to second the Motion.
Question put and agreed to.
Bill accordingly read a Second time.
Bill committed to a Committee of the whole House.—[Sir H. Linstead.]
Bill immediately considered in Committee; reported, without Amendment; read the Third time and passed.
