§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (LORD SIMONDS)My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be read a Second time. It is purely a consolidation measure, and if your Lordships agree to give it a Second Reading it will be referred to the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills. In view of the size of the Bill, I think your Lordships will be relieved to take this Course.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 2ª.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Bill read 2ª, and referred to the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills.
