52. Debate on second reading
On a motion being made and seconded “That a Bill be now read a second
time”, a debate may arise covering the principles and general merits of the Bill.
An amendment may be made to this motion by omitting all or some of the words
after “That” and substituting words which state some special reason against the
second reading of the Bill, but such words must be strictly relevant to the principles of the Bill and not deal with the details.
