Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Oscar Murton)

It is open to debate for one minute.

Sir B. Rhys Williams

The Bill has been before the House on a number of occasions in the past. Therefore, I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.

Question put, That the Bill be now read a Second time:—

The House divided: Ayes 18, Noes Nil.

Question was not decided, and the business under consideration stood over until the next Sitting of the House.
