§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ 3.59 p.m.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Bill be now read a Second time.—[Mr. Leonard.]
§ Mr. James Allason (Hemel Hempstead)I do not think that it is satisfactory that a Bill should be given a Second Reading without the House being given any explanation of it. It is a slightly controversial Bill, it should be debated in the House, and we should be given an explanation of it. We have not been given that explanation, and I do not believe that legislation of this kind should go through this Chamber, and be considered in Committee upstairs, without any explanation—
§ It being Four o'clock, the debate stood adjourned.
§ Debate to be resumed upon Friday next.
