HL Deb 05 June 1972 vol 331 cc15-6
THE LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, I rise to move that this Bill be now read a second time. It is a small Consolidation Bill under the 1949 Consolidation of Enactments (Procedure) Act. It is accompanied by the usual Memorandum explaining why certain minor corrections and improvements in the law are desirable. The Bill will be examined by a Joint Committee in the usual way. I beg to move.

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.
