HOUSE OF COMMONS MEMBERS' FUND BILL.

HL Deb 28 July 1939 vol 114 c664

Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.

12.18 p.m.

THE EARL OF LUCAN

My Lords, this Bill is purely a domestic matter of the House of Commons, it does not impose any charge of any kind on public funds, and it is not a Government measure. I presume, therefore, that your Lordships will not wish to discuss it. I beg to move that the Bill be now read a second time.

Moved, That the Bill be now read 2^a.—(The Earl of Lucan.)

On Question, Bill read 2^a; Committee negatived.

Then, Standing Order No. XXXIX having been suspended in pursuance of the Resolution of the House of Monday last:

THE EARL OF LUCAN

I beg to move that the Bill be now read a third time.

Moved, That the Bill be now read 3^a.—(The Earl of Lucan.)

On Question, Bill read 3^a, and passed.
