THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR DEFENCE, R.A.F. (LORD WINTER-BOTTOM)My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a third time. Noble Lords will have noticed that there is a misprint on the Order Paper, but I assure noble Lords that I do not, as a result, intend to make a Second Reading speech. But now that we have brought the Bill to this point I should like to thank the noble Lord, Lord Nugent of Guildford, and all other noble Lords who took part in the earlier stages of the Bill for the constructive attitude which they took on what I think will prove in due course to be a very useful piece of legislation.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 3a.—(Lord Winterbottom.)
§ On Question, Bill read 3a, with the Amendments, and passed, and returned to the Commons.
