Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I beg to move, in Sub-section (1), to leave out the words "by or through any public Department."

This is a verbal Amendment, which must be taken in connection with the next Amendment to insert other words, which are a little wider than the words that are being left out.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In Subsection (1), after the word "Ireland" ["Northern Ireland, but"], insert the words by or through any public Department, officer, or agent of the Government of any part of His Majesty's Dominions, including any territory under His Majesty's protection."—[Sir W. Joynson-Hicks.]
