§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF WORKS (LORD MORRISON)My Lords, from the brief memorandum which is printed on the front of this Bill your Lordships will observe that it is purely a consolidation Bill. In those circumstances, perhaps it 353 will suffice if I formally move that the Bill be read a second time.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 2a.—(Lord Morrison.)
§ On Question, Bill read 2a, and referred to the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills.
