THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (THE EARL OF ONSLOW)My Lords, I beg to move that Standing Order No. 105 be considered in order to its being dispensed with in respect of the Torquay Corporation Bill. The reason is that there has been a delay in receiving the Report of the Attorney-General, and we could not put the Bill down for Second Reading until that had been received. Now it has been received and therefore I ask your Lordships to agree to the Standing Order being dispensed with.
§ Moved, That Standing Order No. 105 be considered in order to its being dispensed with in respect of the said Bill, and that the Bill be now read 2a—(The Earl of Onslow.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to: Bill read 2a accordingly.
