HC Deb 14 May 1935 vol 301 cc1626-7

7.44 p.m.

Mr. DAVIDSON

I beg to move in page 315, line 11, to leave out, "out of the revenues of Burma."

This and the following Amendments are purely consequential and apply to Burma other concessions which were accepted by the Government in regard to Customs privileges, and they are in accordance with other Amendments that have been agreed to.

Sir R. CRADDOCK

In the case of the Governor-General the amount of his salary is fixed by one of the Schedules, but in the case of the Governor of Burma it does not appear to be the case. Is that because it has been decided or is there some other reason?

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN

I do not think that arises on this Amendment. I think it had better be put on the question that the Schedule stand part.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 315, line 12, at the end, insert: 4. There shall be granted to and in respect of the Governor such customs privileges as may be specified by Order-in-Council.

In line 18, leave out "receive."

In line 20, after "allowances" insert "and privileges."[Mr. Davidson.]

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this Schedule, as amended, be the Tenth Schedule to the Bill."

Mr. DAVIDSON

I may as well reply right away to the question raised. The provision for the salary and allowances of the Governor of Burma is to be made by Order-in-Council.

Mr. MORGAN JONES

I thought the hon. Gentleman was moving Schedule 10 and perhaps putting the other Amendments on Schedule 11, but I find he has moved not only the Amendments in his own name but also those in the name of the hon. and gallant Member for Chippenham (Captain Cazalet). I did not appreciate that, but now it is too late.

Mr. DAVIDSON

I am sorry; that was the last thing in the world that I wanted to do. Although they appear in the name of the hon. and gallant Member for Chippenham (Captain Cazalet), they were really the same Amendments as he moved earlier, which were accepted, and they really all fall together.
