1 a.m.

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

I beg to move in line 4, at the end, to add, subject, however, to the following amendments:—

  • In paragraph 21, page 7, line 5, leave out 'Aden,' and insert 'the Colony.'
  • In paragraph 21, page 7, line 6, leave out 'Aden,' and insert 'the Colony.'
  • In paragraph 21, page 7, line 8, leave out 'Aden,' and insert 'the Colony.'"
These are drafting Amendments to substitute the words "the Colony" for the word "Aden". Aden is a Colony and these Amendments are to correct a drafting mistake.

Amendment agreed to.

Resolved: That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, in pursuance of the provisions of Section 309 of the Government of India Act, 1935, praying that the Aden Colony Order, 1936, be made in the form of the draft laid before Parliament, subject, however, to the following amendments:—

To be presented by Privy Councillors or Members of His Majesty's Household.
