Now, Sir.

Mr. Speaker

Although the hon. Member is entirely within his rights, I must call the attention of the House, as my predecessors have done, to the unusual procedure of taking the Committee stage on the same day as Second Reading.

Bill immediately considered in Committee; reported, without Amendment.

Motion made, and Question, That the Bill be now read the Third time put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 55 (Third Reading), and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.
