Mr. KING

I beg to move, at the end of the Clause, to insert as a new Subsection:

"(2) The Factory and Workshop Acts, 1901 to 1911, and Part II. of this Act may be jointly cited as the Factory and Workshop Acts, 1901 to 1916."

Does not the Home Secretary think that the Amendment would, at any rate, strengthen and improve the Clause? It is in that sense that I beg to move the Amendment.

Mr. SAMUEL

I appreciate the hon. Member's intention, but I am advised that the Amendment is not necessary. Clause 9 of the Bill covers this point. It says:

"This part of this Act shall be construed as one with the Factory and Workshop Acts, 1901 to 1911."

It would not be artistic, so to speak, to say that a Police (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill should be cited as one of the Factory and Workshop Acts.

Mr. KING

I beg leave to withdraw the Amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Question, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill," put, and agreed to.
