The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Butler)

I beg to move, in line 16, at the end, to add: In paragraph 4 of Part VIII, in line 11, on page 52, after 'ten,' insert 'of Part VIII.' In the Ninth Schedule. in line 24, on page 146, leave out 'West,' and insert 'South.' These Amendments have been inserted in another place. They are both drafting Amendments and therefore need a minimum of explanation. The first is a drafting slip. There is a reference to "paragraph ten," and that should refer to "paragraph ten of Part VIII." The second Amendment is a printing mistake which was pointed out by my hon. Friend the Member for Blackburn (Sir W. Smiles), to whom we are much obliged, which makes clear the different boundaries.

Amendment agreed to.

Question, as amended, put, and agreed to.
