HL Deb 08 April 1919 vol 34 c220

Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.

VISCOUNT PEEL

My Lords, I move that this Bill be read a second time. It takes away the statutory power that has existed since 1847 which prevents soldiers being allowed outside of barracks on nomination and election days.

Moved, That the Bill be now read 2a.—(Viscount Peel.)

On Question, Bill read 2a and committed to a Committee of the Whole House.
