HC Deb 28 November 1922 vol 159 c568

Motion made, and Question proposed. "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

Captain BENN

On a point of Order. Shall we be at liberty to move Amendments to the Schedule, or, inasmuch as the Schedule is referred to in Clause 1, should we be more in order in discussing the Schedule on Clause 1, or shall we have liberty on the first Schedule to discuss Amendments to that Schedule?

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN

When we come to the Schedule, hon. Members will be at liberty to move Amendments to it.

Sir F. BANBURY

We were told by the Chairman of Ways and Means on the other Bill that we could not move Amendments to the Schedule, because it had been already enacted in Clause 1 that the Schedule shall become law. The same thing is enacted in this Bill. Therefore, if we were unable to move Amendments to the Schedule of the other Bill, we cannot move Amendments to the Schedule of this Bill.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN

In the first Bill the Schedule was a separate document from the Bill. In this Bill that is not the case. This is in a different category from the previous Bill.
