Brought up, and read the First time.

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.

Mr. Deputy Speaker:

With this, it will be convenient to discuss the following: New clause 6-- Assisted places scheme --

the purpose being that it would meet it in part, or indeed not at all, according to a means test similar to that provided for under the assisted places scheme. So the hon. Gentleman is simply wrong.

Question put, That the clause be read a Second time:--

The House divided: Ayes 45, Noes 220.
