HC Deb 17 March 1975 vol 888 c1208

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed. That the Bill be now read a Second time.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. George Thomas)

Before I call the first subject for debate, I remind the House that we are a little more restricted with these Estimates. Hon. Members may be aware that on the first subject only the reason for the increase—namely, pay awards, increased costs of capital work and running expenses of national centres—may be debated.
