§ Lords Amendment: In page 2, line 27, leave out "nor widows."
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."—[Miss Bondfield.]
§ Mr. SPEAKERI have to inform the House that this Amendment raises a question of privilege.
§ Sir DENNIS HERBERTMay I ask that on this occasion what I believe has been the custom in the past may be followed now, and that the Minister may give us some information, as the Minister did in the last case, as to whether this Amendment is purely drafting, or whether and to what extent it is one of substance?
§ The MINISTER of LABOUR (Miss Bondfield)This is purely a drafting Amendment. It was by an inadvertence that these words appeared in the Bill.
§ Mr. SPEAKERA special entry will be made with regard to this Amendment.
§ The remaining Orders were read, and postponed.
