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 this Bill, and that the Bill be now read a second time. The necessity arises because this Standing Order of your Lordships' House, that the Bill be read a second time within a week, has not been complied with. We have had to postpone it for the learned Attorney-General's Report on it. I beg to move.
§ 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, and Bill read 2a accordingly.
