HC Deb 05 March 1935 vol 298 cc1897-8

10.41 p.m.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir Donald Somervell)

I beg to move, in page 9, line 11, to leave out from "shall," to "be," in line 13.

This and the following Amendment are purely drafting. This omits words in the body of the Clause, and the next inserts them in a new Sub-section in a slightly clearer form.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 9, line 19, at the end, add: (2) Before giving any directions under this Section the Secretary of State shall satisfy himself that nothing in the directions requires the Governor-General to act in any manner inconsistent with any Instrument of Instructions issued to him by His Majesty."—[The Solicitor-General.]

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
