HC Deb 14 December 1933 vol 284 c565

Considered in Committee.

[Sir DENNIS HERBERT in the Chair.]

The CHAIRMAN

Let me call the attention of the Committee, before we proceed with this Bill, to the fact that the Bill contains in a Schedule a copy of an Act of the Newfoundland Legislature. As printed there are a number of trifling errors in that Schedule. The Public Bill Office and I myself have gone through these very carefully, and I am prepared to assure the Committee that those corrections, which will be made as printers' corrections, are not errors of substance of any kind whatever. As an example, I may perhaps mention that a large majority of them consist of the omission of the word "the," as, for instance, "loan and interest thereon" instead of "loan and the interest thereon." I thought it was only right that as these corrections are very numerous, the fact should be mentioned to the Committee.
