§ Ordered, That the Lords Amendments to the Commons Amendment to the Lords Amendment, disagreed to by the Lords, be now considered.— [Sir Eric Geddes.]
§ Lords Amendments to Commons Amendment to Lords Amendment considered accordingly.
The MINISTER (Designate) of TRANSPORT (Sir E. Geddes)I beg to move "That this House doth agree with the Lords in their Amendment to the Commons Amendment to the Lords Amendment."
§ Sir E. GEDDESThe purport of the Amendment is simply this. The point of difference between us was as to the nomination of the Committee. The Lords have accepted that, but words have been inserted that, in addition to the other interests concerned, the Board of Trade shall specifically consult with the Associated Chambers of Commerce and the Central Chamber of Agriculture, and the Minister of Labour shall consult, in addition to the others, the Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Union Congress. This Amendment simply puts in those three bodies.
§ Lords Amendments agreed to.
