§ Mr. Marcus Kimball (Gainsborough)Is it in order, Mr. Gourlay, to object to the fact that the Committee Stage of the Bill has been taken on the same day as the Second Reading, instead of the Bill being put down for Committee of the whole House on some other day as is the normal, courteous practice of the House? Is it right that the House should go through the Bill, with Second Reading and Committee stage following in this manner?
