§ THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (LORD STRATHCONA AND MOUNT ROYAL)My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be read a third time.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 3a.—(Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal.)
THE MARQUESS OF ABERDEEN AND TEMAIRMy Lords, before the Bill leaves this House I would like to express the gratitude of those, and especially myself, who did not like the Bill as it appeared when it was introduced into this House, to the noble Lord who has conducted the Bill for the very courteous and helpful way in which he has met us. Although the Bill may be not entirely perfect, yet I feel that he has met us very handsomely, and I would like to raise my voice in expressing my thanks, just as I have addressed them in black and white to the noble Lord, in writing.
§ On Question, Bill read 3a.
§ Amendments (Privilege) made: Bill passed, and sent to the Commons.
