Slaughtering Of Animals Bill

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."—[ Sir A. Shirley Benn.]

Mr. LANSBURY
This Bill has been opposed for several nights in succession, but to-night the parties concerned, on behalf of the Jewish fraternity in the country, have agreed to the insertion of a Clause which will safeguard all their interests, and they are perfectly satisfied. I hope, under these circumstances, the Bill will not be further opposed.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill read a Second time, and committed to a Standing Committee.

The remaining Orders were read, and postponed.
