§ Mr. SpeakerThe Question is, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
§ Mr. Malcolm MacMillan (Western Isles) rose—
§ Mr. SpeakerDoes the hon. Member rise to oppose the Motion?
§ Mr. MacMillanNo, Mr. Speaker. I do not propose to move the reasoned Amendment standing in my name and the names of my hon. Friends, because, on the initiative of the Opposition, we have had a second day in the Scottish Grand Committee and on the second day we had a more liberal explanation of the meaning and application of the Bill than we had on the first day. We are, therefore, reasonably satisfied that we can make most of the remaining points in Committee, with some comments, with your permission, on the Money Resolution.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Bill accordingly read a Second time.
§ Bill committed to a Standing Committee pursuant to Standing Order No. 38 (Committal of Bills).
