HC Deb 15 July 1927 vol 208 c2557
Sir K. WOOD

I beg to move, in page 125, line 4, to leave out the word "July," and to insert instead thereof the word "October."

It is necessary to substitute 1st October next for 1st July as the date on which the Bill is to come into operation. It is impossible now for the Bill to be passed by the time anticipated, and in any event it is desirable to give guardians and their officers, in view of the magnitude of this Bill, which runs into more than 200 Clauses, an opportunity of studying its provisions before it comes into operation.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
