HC Deb 27 May 1936 vol 312 cc2150-1

Lords Amendment: Leave out Clause 2, and insert new Clause A (Apparatus for meter testing, etc.)

10.57 p.m.

Mr. H. G. WILLIAMS

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

Mr. SPEAKER

I have to inform the House that this Clause raises the question of Privilege. Is it the wish of the House to waive the question of Privilege and agree to the Amendment?

HON. MEMBERS

Agreed.

Lords Amendment: After new Clause A, insert new Clause (Transitional provisions as to existing meters.)

Mr. H. G. WILLIAMS

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

Mr. SPEAKER

This Clause also raises a question of Privilege. I will have an entry made in the Records of the House.

Mr. EDE

May we have an explanation of the Clause?

Mr. WILLIAMS

It is only an Amendment dealing with the equipping of laboratories.

Remaining Lords Amendments agreed to.
