HC Deb 14 December 1926 vol 200 cc2814-5

Lords Amendment: In page 43, line 39, at the end, insert S. 14 … In paragraph 1 (a) after the words 'one month' there shall be inserted 'or in the case of service lines, seven days.'

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

It shortens the length of time necessary for giving notice in the case of service lines. It has been accepted by the Postmaster-General, who at one time objected to it.

Question put, and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 43, leave out lines 40 to 43, inclusive.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

This is really drafting. We put the words in in Clause 19 last night and therefore we can leave them out here.

Question put, and agreed to.

Remaining Lords Amendments agreed to.

Ordered, That a Committee be appointed to draw up reasons to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of their Amendments to the Bill.

Committee nominated of Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon, Mr. Robert Hudson, Mr. Rentoul, Mr. Attlee, and Mr. Kelly.

Three to be the quorum.

To withdraw immediately.—[The Attorney-General.]

Reasons for disagreeing to certain of the Lords Amendments reported later, and agreed to.

To be communicated to the Lords.—[The Attorney-General.]
