§ [SECOND READING.]
§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (The Earl of DONOUGHMORE)My Lords, this is substantially the same Bill as that which your Lordships passed last year, and it embodies the Amendments that I was glad to make to meet the views of my noble friend Lord Monkswell. I do not think it is necessary to explain the Bill at length to your Lordships, having done so last year, and I will therefore content myself with formally moving that it be read a second time.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 2a.—(The Earl of Donoughmore.)
§ On Question, Bill read 2a and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Tuesday next.
