Quote:THE OMNIBUS PROBATION RELIEF ACT 2009
An Act to waive further probationary citizenship for certain recent immigrants.
BE IT ENACTED by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, That the probationary period required by the laws of Hanover is hereby waived for the persons listed below, and they accordingly possess full Hanoverian citizenship.
James Marchmain
Alexander von Kassel
Edgard Portela
My Lords and Gentlemen,
The above is a simple Act to waive probation for three of our newer citizens. Mr. Marchmain and Mr. Portela are returning citizens, who in my opinion need not undergo the probation period; Mr. Von Kassel has demonstrated extraordinary promise in the Church and the State, and I think is worthy of being included in this waiver of probation.
Mr. Speaker,
Point of information regarding the three that are subject of this bill:
James Marchmain's naturalization is dated 18 MAY 2009.
Alexander von Kassel's naturalization is dated 7 MAY 2009.
Edgard Portela's naturalization is dated 27 MAY 2009.
If enacted today (unlikely):
This act would cut off 20 days from James Marchmain's probation.
This act would cut off only 9 days from Alexander von Kassel's probation.
This act would cut off 29 days from Edgard Portela's probation.
Given the individuals involved I believe this is a good and worthy bill and stand in support of its passage without amendment.
My Lords and Gentlemen, I beg to move that the Bill do now pass.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
I thank my esteemed colleague Mr. Livingston for bringing this to the attention of the Speaker.
Seeing no further deliberation this house is called to divide on the question of passage of this bill to be sent to His Majesty for Royal assent.
Their shall be no further discussion on this during the vote.
Those in favor of passage shall indicate with "Content".
Those against passage shall indicate with "Not Content".
Please make your preference known now.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
In keeping with the standing rules, section section 4, article 18, I hereby draw this division to a close as there are either four or five valid possible, and the contents have achieved an absolute majority either way.
The contents are three.
The not contents are zero.
This bill has passed parliament and is now sent to His Majesty for Royal Assent.
God save the King.
His Majesty has been pleased to issue a Commission to several Lords therein named, for declaring His Royal Assent to a singular Act agreed upon by Parliament
My Lords, and Gentlemen,
His Majesty, not thinking fit to be personally present here at this Time, has been pleased to cause a Commission to be issued under the Great Seal, and thereby given His Royal Assent to a singular Act which hath been agreed upon by Parliament, the Title whereof is singularly mentioned; and by the said Commission hath commanded us to declare and notify His Royal Assent to the said singular Act, in the Presence of you the Lords and Commons assembled for that Purpose: Which Commission you will now hear read.
