HL Deb 28 June 1949 vol 163 cc352-3

2.53 p.m.

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 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.
