§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
§ Sir L. Ungoed-ThomasI beg to move, That the Chairman do report Progress and ask leave to sit again.
1185 We have discussed the desirability of continuing this debate or not. I think it would be quite possible, and I am sure we could, without any difficulty, finish the rest of the Bill in less than a day. We shall certainly co-operate with the Government, as we have done throughout, with a view to getting through the Bill expeditiously but, at the same time, we wish it to be thoroughly and satisfactorily discussed. I hope that on that footing, therefore, it will be possible for the President to say that we will not continue further with this debate tonight.
Mr. P. ThomeycroftI welcome the hon. and learned Gentleman's suggestion. I am not an addict for discussing complicated Measures late at night. It there 1186 fore gives me personal satisfaction in not having to deal with further Amendments now. If we could finish the Committee stage of the Bill as the hon. and learned Gentleman has suggested, I am sure that that would be satisfactory to all concerned.
§ Committee report Progress; to sit again this day.
