Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am ar 1 Awst 1924.
When I asked the Leader of the House to pass this Bill through all its stages, to-day, I was under the same delusion as the hon. Member for West Woolwich (Sir K. Wood) that the Bill was printed. I know it is purely a consolidating Measure, and that we want it, especially in connection with the Royal Commission. I quite agree with the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Cambridge University that it would be quite unfair on our part to try to press for anything more than the Second Reading until the Bill has been printed. Therefore I trust the Government will be content with the Second Reading and have the Bill printed by Monday.
