SPEECH BY THE CHIEF SECRETARY

:
Sir
Two weeks ago in this Chamber I spoke of the deep concern expressed by many people from many walks of life about the legislation which we are debating
debating today,
today, and, although it is not usual to proceed further to debate the Third Reading of a Bill, with your permission, Sir, and in the public interest, I feel I must make AD additional statement on the general purpose of this Bill and emphasise and explain, once more, the essential intention behind it.
Other Members have spoken in both general and specific terms about each amendment and about che папу valuable suggestions which have been made by Members of the legal profession, and by others, since the Second Reading of the Bill a fortnight ago and, let me add, I agree with the President of the Law Society who is reported as saying "it is a substantially better Bill" as a a result of che scrutiny and auggestions for amendment that have been made and, I might add, it la a substantially better Bill because of the readiness of Members of this Council to consider with great care and patience all the various suggestions that have been made.
