[Sir Robert Grant-Ferris in the Chair]
Clause 1
Appropriation Of Sums Voted For Supply Services
Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.
As the House has not copies of the Bill, would it not be possible for the clause to be read out?
I understand that copies are available in the Vote Office and, much as I should like to oblige the hon. and gallant Member for Winchester (Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles), I think I had better keep to the normal rule.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Schedules agreed to.
Bill reported, without amendment.
Motion made and Question, That the Bill be now read the Third time, put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 93 ( Consolidated Fund Bills), and agreed to.
Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.
