HC Deb 05 May 1975 vol 891 c1174

Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.

11.22 p.m.

Mr. John Page

I was interested in the answer that the hon. Lady the Under-Secretary gave—

The Chairman

Order. All that the hon. Gentleman is able to discuss now is the title of the Bill and that This Act may be cited as the Malta Republic Act 1975. That is all that remains.

Mr. Page

I thought that this was the Committee stage of the Bill and that we were discussing it in Committee.

The Chairman

It is the Committee stage, but we have passed Clause 1 and are now on the short title of the Bill. It is only the title of the Bill that remains to be discussed.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Bill reported, without amendment.

Motion made, and Question, That the. Bill be now read the Third time, put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 56 (Third Reading).

Mr. John Page

rose—

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. George Thomas)

Order. The question has to be decided forthwith.

Question agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed, without amendment.
