HL Deb 01 September 1939 vol 114 cc932-3

Read 1^a.

9.35 p.m.

THE EARL OF MUNSTER

My Lords, in moving the Second Reading of this Bill I think I need not weary the House with any explanation of it. It is similar to that which was passed before the last War, and I think that many of your Lordships in this House will recall a Bill of this character. Unless any noble Lord desires a fuller explanation, I beg to move.

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

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

Bill read 3^a, and passed, and a Message sent to the Commons to acquaint them therewith.
