§ Amendments made: In page 7, line 29, after the word "committees," insert the words "by order."
§ In page 7, line 34, after the word "committees," insert the words "by order."
§ In page 8, line 1, after the word "committees," insert the words, "by order."—[Mr. W. Smith.]
§ Mr. W. SMITHI beg to move, in page 8, line 4, at the end to insert the words
(c) for requiring a committee, if so directed by the Minister, to reconsider any such order as aforesaid made by them and to notify to the Minister the result of their reconsideration.This is an addition of words to meet a point that was raised in Committee by the hon. Member for Taunton (Mr. Simpson), who felt that the reference to the Board ought to be rather wider than that confined to the term "minimum wage." We therefore promised to insert words, and I think that these words meet the point raised by the hon. Member.
§ Mr. ACLANDMay I thank the Minister for moving to insert these words, and thank my hon. Friends opposite for accepting them? It is not a large power, but I think it may be useful.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Mr. SMITHI beg to move, in page 8, line 13, at the end, to insert the words
and for applying for that purpose as respects the Board any provisions of this Section relating to Committees.This also is the addition of certain words to give a clearer meaning to the Clause.
§ Amendment agreed to.
