HC Deb 15 July 1927 vol 208 cc2555-6
Mr. T. WILLIAMS

I beg to move, in page 18, line 39, to leave out the word "The" and to insert instead thereof the word "Every."

The object of the Amendment is to make assurance doubly sure that in any parish, notwithstanding the particular parish to which he carries on his duty the relieving officer will have power to deal with urgent cases. I understand the hon. Gentleman is prepared to accept the Amendment.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN

I think I ought to say that no Amendment can be moved to change or amend any particular Clause except in so far as it consolidates the law.

Amendment agreed to.
