Sir R. SANDERS

I beg to move, to leave out the words "costs, charges, and expenses" ["defraying any costs, charges, and expenses,"] and to insert instead thereof the word "expenditure."

This Amendment is to make clear a point raised by the hon. Member for Dumfries (Dr. Chapple) in Committee. I undertook to make the point quite clear by inserting the word "expenditure"

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: Leave out the words "costs, charges, and expenses" ["defraying such costs, charges, and expenses"], and insert instead thereof the word "expenditure."—[Sir R. Sanders.]
