THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (LORD MERTHYR)My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time. In doing so, may I inform the House that this opposed Bill is divided into seven Parts, and that there will shortly be on the Order Paper a Motion to instruct the Committee to which the Bill will be referred to leave out Part II. Nevertheless, I hope that the House will give this Bill a Second Reading this afternoon.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 2a.—(Lord Merthyr)
§ On Question, Bill read 2a, and committed to a Select Committee.
