§ [SECOND READING.]
§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
THE EARL OF CAMPERDOWNMy Lords, this is a Bill to repeal the law which prohibits the growing of tobacco in Scotland. It also provides that the Commissioners of Inland Revenue may issue licences to persons to grow tobacco, and may state the places in which tobacco may be grown. The Bill is identical with die one which was passed for Ireland last year; and as, I believe, there is no objection to it on the part of the Government, I beg to move the Second Reading.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(The Earl of Camperdown.)
LORD DENMANMy Lords, there is no objection whatever on the part of the Government to the Bill which the noble Earl has just introduced. Therefore we cordially assent to the Second Reading.
§ On Question, Bill road 2a, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Monday next.
