§ [SECOND READING.]
§ Order of the day for Second Reading read.
§ THE EARL OF GRANARDThis Bill is of a very simple character. It is designed to apply to Naval Volunteers, who were created in 1903, the same benefits as accrue to the land Volunteers or the Territorial Army, as I think they are now called, with regard to the hiring of land and the acquisition of land by these bodies. It is very useful for the erection of buildings and drill halls, and the Naval Volunteers can then borrow money at a lower rate of interest than they would otherwise be able to do. I move that the Bill be read a second time.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(The Earl of Granard.)
§ On Question, agreed to.
§ Bill Read 2a, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House tomorrow.
