Mr Speaker: Committee stage, what day?

Mr Goode: Now, Sir. Sir, I beg to move,

That this Assembly will immediately resolve itself into a Committee on the Bill.

Mr J. M. Jumabhoy: Sir, I second it.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill considered in Committee.

[Mr SPEAKER in the Chair]

10.42 a.m.

Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clause 2-

The Chairman: Mr Chief Secretary, the clause reads:

'Section 3 of the Second-hand Dealers Ordinance is hereby amended by deleting the words and commas "Assistant Commissioner of Police, Criminal Investigation Department",...'.

Within the inverted commas, I see only one comma. I think possibly there should be another comma immediately after the word "Department".

Mr Goode: I am much obliged to you, Sir. That is correct. There should be a second comma.

The Chairman: The comma will be put in as a matter of course.

Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Mr Goode: Sir, I beg to move, "That the Bill be reported to the Assembly."

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill reported, without Amendment.

Third Reading

Mr Speaker: Third Reading, what day?

Mr Goode: Now, Sir. Sir, I move, "That the Bill be now read the Third time."

Mr J. M. Jumabhoy: Sir, I second it.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time.
