§ Mr. SPEAKERThis may be only a drafting Amendment, but if it has any other effect it is a question of the privilege of the House.
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)It is really a drafting Amendment, and I do not think that we need object to it on that ground. I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
§ Lords Amendment:
§
In line 40, leave out from the beginning to "shall" in line 3 of page 6, and insert
(3) Any action taken for the purposes of or in connection with the preparation or submission of a scheme under this Part of this Act shall be deemed to be within the powers of any company, and no such action.
Sir L. WORTHINGTONEVANSI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
It is really a better method of expressing what is already in the Bill.
§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALDAmendment has no substance in it?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON - EVANSAbsolutely none.
