HC Deb 13 July 1931 vol 255 cc167-8
Brigadier-General BROWN

I beg to move, in page 30, line 11, to leave out from the word "board" to the word "and" in line 14.

We had some discussion on these points during the Committee stage, and the Minister at the time said that he might have to alter the wording of my Amendment as proposed in Committee. The right hon. Gentleman has sent me the alteration which he accepted. The Amendment I have now moved is in the wording which has been accepted by the Minister.

Captain DUGDALE

I beg to second the Amendment.

Dr. ADDISON

This Amendment of the hon. and gallant Gentleman, and the one which follows it in his name is, I think, a fair compromise in order to arrive at an understanding of what is included in the words of the Bill, and I accept it.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 30, line 17, at the end, insert the words: including an annual balance sheet and either an annual profit-and-loss account or, in the case of a board which does not trade for profit, an annual income and expenditure account."—[Brigadier-General Brown.]

In page 30, line 20, leave out paragraph 4.—[Sir J. Lamb.]

Dr. ADDISON

I beg to move, in page 30, line 23, at the end, to insert the words: 6. As to the removal from the register of producers of the names of persons who have ceased to be producers or are exempted from registration.

Viscount WOLMER

I would like to thank the Minister for putting in this Amendment. It was a point we pressed on him very hard, and I am sure that his acceptance of it will be a source of comfort to a great many people throughout the country.

Amendment agreed to.

Viscount CRANBORNE

I beg to move, in page 30, line 24, to leave out paragraph 6.

This is a consequential Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.
