The original question was that the bills be now read a second time. To this, the honourable member for Melbourne has moved, as an amendment, that all words after 'that' be omitted with a view to substituting other words. Is a division required? I will ask the clerks to ring the bell for five minutes so all members will be aware of the division. The question is that the amendment be disagreed to.

The question now is that the bills be read a second time.
