HC Deb 21 July 1920 vol 186 c2055
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I beg to move, in page 3, line 22, to leave out the word "The" and to insert instead thereof the word "An."

This is a drafting Amendment.

Mr. R. RICHARDSON

May I ask the Minister if this is really a drafting Amendment? I think it would give to the Minister the right to give what he thought fit.

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

"The" additional allowance appears to refer to some particular additional allowance, whereas "an" additional allowance does not.

Amendment agreed to.
