CLAUSE 10.—(Amendment of Section 75 of principal Act as to disposal of surpluses.)

HC Deb 23 May 1928 vol 217 c2004

Dr. DAVIES

I beg to move, in page 17, line 14, to leave out the words "or similar" and to insert instead thereof the words "dispensaries or other."

The hon. and learned Member for South Shields (Mr. Harney), in whose name the Amendment stands, has been unfortunately called away and has asked me to move it. The Clause at the moment reads: For the purpose of making occasional subscriptions or donation of an eleemosynary character to hospitals or similar charitable institutions. A doubt has been expressed as to whether dispensaries come under the term "hospitals or similar charitable institutions," and that is the reason why we are proposing to insert these words.

Lieut.-Colonel WATTS-MORGAN

I beg to second the Amendment.

Sir K. WOOD

I have pleasure in accepting the Amendment. It will bring the Bill into conformity with a similar alteration previously made.

Amendment agreed to.
