NINTH SCHEDULE.—(Enactments repealed.) (Hansard, 24 July 1936)

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

§ Mr. EDE
I really think that we ought to have some explanation of this Amendment. In respect of another Amendment to Clause 36 the Parliamentary Secretary, without even rising in the slightest degree, said "Drafting", and the Clause was struck out of the Bill. I suppose it is really drafting to strike a whole Clause out of the Bill.

§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAM
The reason I did not give an explanation was that it had already been given on Clause 8 which we had already passed.

§ Mr. EDE
Surely we are entitled to have an explanation of why a whole Schedule should be cut out and another put in.

§ Mr. BELLENGER
I do not wish to appear as if questioning the Parliamentary Secretary's knowledge of all these Amendments from another place, but here we are asked to cut out a Schedule dealing with I do not know how many Acts of Parliament which would be repealed, and to insert a new Schedule to replace it. The Parliamentary Secretary offers us no information as to the effect of this new Schedule and whether it will include any other Act of Parliament which should be repealed. As this is the last Amendment and will not take very long, perhaps he will tell us where it differs from the Schedule which he asks us to leave out.

§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAM
I am afraid that if I were to reply fully to the hon. Member, it would be a long time before I finished, as it would involve reading the original Ninth Schedule and comparing it with the Schedule now in the Bill.
The Bill has had extremely careful consideration—the hon. Member and other hon. Members have taken a valuable part in the work—with the result that there have been numerous Amendments, which made it necessary to give special consideration to the Repeal Schedule. On the whole it was thought better to leave out the original Schedule and to insert a revised Repeal Schedule. The new Schedule is merely a revision of the original Schedule. I hope the hon. Members will be content with that explanation. With regard to the complaint made by the hon. Member for South Shields (Mr. Ede), I ought to have pointed out that we had dealt with the matter in Clause 8. When we got to Clause 36 I said "Drafting", and I ought perhaps to have added a few words with regard to Clause 8.
