§ Order of the Day for the Third Reading read.
§ LORD MORRISONMy Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be read a third time.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 3ª.—(Lord Morrison.)
§ LORD LLEWELLINMy Lords, before we pass this Bill, perhaps I may congratulate my noble friend opposite on having had such an easy time, and on somehow managing to have most of the Scottish Peers absent on the Third Reading of these two Bills!
THE MARQUESS OF ABERDEEN AND TEMAIRI might point out that there are two people from Aberdeen here—Lord Morrison and myself.
§ LORD MORRISONI would just like to observe that the noble Lord, Lord Llewellin, may be a little premature. I 121 have still four small Amendments of a minor character, to move to this Bill.
§ On Question, Bill read 3ª
§ LORD MORRISONMy Lords, there are two Amendments which, with your Lordships' permission, I will take together. These are formal Amendments substituting for references to the Acquisition of Land (Authorisation Procedure) Act, 1946, references to the new Scottish Act which will replace it when the Bill now before Parliament becomes law. I beg to move.
