HC Deb 24 July 1936 vol 315 cc1011-2

Lords Amendment: In page 43, line 33, at the end, insert: (2) In relation to any document issued by or under the authority of any Government department for the purposes of this Act, the Documentary Evidence Act, 1868, as amended by the Documentary Evidence Act, 1882, shall have effect as if the Commission and the Board were included in the first column of the Schedule to the first-mentioned Act, and any person authorised to act on behalf of the Commission or the Board, as the case may be, were mentioned in the second column of that Schedule, and the regulations referred to in those Acts included any such documents as aforesaid.

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

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

This is a little more than drafting. It is a piece of necessary machinery for enabling documents to be provable in evidence.

Subsequent Lords Amendments to page 46, line 7, agreed to.
