Mr. E. G. Willis (Edinburgh, East)

This Money Resolution, like the Bill, applies to Scotland. Unfortunately, during the Second Reading, owing to the awkward and cumbrous method by which the Scottish Office sought to include Scotland, it was not possible for Scottish Members to raise many points.

It being Ten o'clock, The Chairman left the Chair to report Progress and ask leave to sit again.

Committee report Progress.
