I move:—

"That the Standing Orders be suspended for the purpose of enabling the remaining stages of the Shops Hours (Drapery Trades, Dublin and Districts) Bill, 1930, to be taken to-day." If there is any opposition to this motion I do not want to press it. My reasons for moving the motion is that there is a certain amount of urgency about this Bill. It was treated, so far, as a non-controversial Bill. The existing Act expires in July, and as things move rather slowly in the Dáil, there is a chance that if we do not get the Bill to the Dáil as quickly as possible it may not be passed in time. I only ask the House to accept the motion if there is general agreement.

I second.

I would not like this motion to pass now because I want to put down an amendment.

In these circumstances I ask leave to withdraw the motion.
