Read a Second time and committed.

Ordered, That it be an Instruction to the Committee on the Bill to amend Part II of that Bill in order to provide that no application for a licence under that Part shall be unreasonably refused and in particular that no licence shall be refused merely in order to restrict the total number of such licences or because the applicant has not previously held a licence under Part II of that Bill or a hackney carriage licence.—[Mr. English.]
