§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
§ 3.28 p.m.
§ Mr. Ede (South Shields)Can we hear something about the Bill?
§ The Solicitor-General (Sir Harry Hylton-Foster)Should it help, I would be delighted to tell the right hon. Gentleman something about the Bill. The easiest thing to tell him about it is that it is pure consolidation and that, as far as I know, no points arise upon it whatsoever. I confess that it is difficult to know what else I can tell the right 1809 hon. Gentleman and remain within the very strict rules of order applicable to these circumstances.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Bill accordingly read a Second time.
§ Bill committed to a Committee of the whole House.—[Sir G. Wills.]
§ Committee upon Monday next.
