Brought up, and read the First time.

Mr. GUINNESS:

I beg to move, "That the Clause be read a Second time."

This Clause is in substitution for Clause 27. It provides, inter alia, that the Commissioners can borrow money for the purpose of paying off existing loans.

Clause read a Second time, and added to the Bill.

Clause

A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.

Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.

During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.

When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
