§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
§ LORD KERSHAWMy Lords, in the absence of my noble friend the Minister of Civil Aviation, who is receiving the Crown Prince of the Netherlands at London Airport, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time. I understand that the Second Reading of this form of Bill is not usually the subject of a speech by the mover. Therefore, with your Lordships' permission, I will straight away move that it be read a second time. However, if any member of your Lord-ships' House has any point that he would like to raise, I will do my best to deal with it.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 2a —(Lord Kershaw.)
§ On Question, Bill read 2a and committed to a Commit tie of the Whole House.
