  Mr. Broughan: I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make further and better provision in relation to the registration of mercantile shipping and to make provision in relation to connected matters.

  An Ceann Comhairle: Is the Bill opposed?

  Mr. Kitt: No.

Question put and agreed to.

  An Ceann Comhairle: Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members’ time.

  Mr. Broughan: I move: “That the Bill be taken in Private Members’ time.”

Question put and agreed to.
