Business of the House (Procedure)
"(1) When a Bill has been read a second time it shall stand committed
to one of the Standing Committees, unless the House, on Motion to be
decided without amendment or debate, otherwise order, and such a
Motion shall not require notice, must be made immediately after the Bill
is read a second time, may be made by any Member, and may, though
opposed, be decided after the expiration of the time for opposed business.
But this Order shall not apply to-
(a) Bills for imposing taxes, or Consolidated Fund or Appropriation
Bills; or
1. At 10 p.m. on that day, Mr. Speaker shall put forthwith the
Question on any Amendment or other Motion already proposed
from the Chair, and shall next proceed successively to put forth-
with the Question on any Amendments or other Motions moved
by the Government of which notice has been given (but on no
other Amendment or Motion), and on any other Question
necessary to dispose of the proceedings to be concluded;
2. On that day the proceedings to which this Order relates shall not
be interrupted under the provisions of any Standing Order
relating to the Sittings of the House;
6. That the Bill be now read a second time."
RETURN respecting Application of Standing Order No. 26 (Closure of Debate) during Session 1907-continued.
The Speaker withheld
his assent, and de-
clined to put that
Question, as it ap-
peared to him that
the House was pre-
pared to come to a
decision without that
Motion.
" That the position of Vice-President of the Board of Agriculture in
Ireland was intended by Parliament to be and in fact is a Ministerial
and Parliamentary office, properly vacated upon a change of Government,
and that the retention of that office by a political opponent of the
Government of the day is undesirable as a permanent arrangement."
Amendment proposed, to leave out from the word "That,” to the end
of the Question, and add the words "in view of the continued confidence
expressed in the policy of Sir Horace Plunkett by the Council of Agri-
culture, two-thirds of whose Members are directly appointed by the
county councils of Ireland, it is inadvisable, before the Honge has had
an opportunity of considering carefully the Report of the Committee of
Inquiry into the organisation and working of the Department of Agri-
culture and Technical Instruction, to make any change in Sir Horace
Plunkett's tenure of the Vice-Presidency."
“That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question."

"That the Bill be now read a second time."
Amendment proposed, to leave out from the word “That," to the end
of the Question, and add the words, “This House declines to proceed
further with a measure which will cause dislocation and insecurity
amongst those engaged in the licensed victualling trade without any
compensating advantage to the public, which leaves the right of supplying
alcoholic liquor in clubs and dispensaries unrestricted, and which will
deprive brewers, licensees, and the investing public of their property
without compensation.”
“That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question."
