HC Deb 13 July 1933 vol 280 cc1380-1

Lords Amendment: In page 11, leave out lines 22 and 23, and insert: method of determination may be such as to secure that the quantity (if any) which any particular registered producer may sell is determined.

Major ELLIOT

I beg to move," That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

This is a drafting Amendment to make quite clear the method of determination of the quantities which may be sold.

Question put, and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 11, line 26, after the word "produced," insert the words "sold or otherwise dealt with."

Major ELLIOT

Question put, and agreed to.
