Clause 3 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Question proposed , That the clause stand part of the Bill.
The Government acknowledge in the Bill's title that the measure is about disqualification.
Question put and agreed to .
Clause 4 ordered to stand part of the Bill .
Brought up, and read the First time.
I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.
The Chairman:
With this it will be convenient to discuss the following: new clause 8-- Minister of the Crown --
We have had many debates about who may qualify for or be disqualified from membership of the House under the Bill. However, new clause 8 tackles the case of someone who has a dual mandate for the Dail and the House of Commons. Such a person could not be a Minister of the Crown if the new clause was accepted.
Question put , That the clause be read a Second Time:--
The Committee divided: Ayes 173, Noes 309.
