Order for Second Reading read.

I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.

Question put and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read a Second time.

Bill immediately considered in Committee.

Bill reported, without amendment.

Motion made, and Question, That the Bill be now read the Third time, put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 58 (Third Reading), and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed, without amendment.
