HC Deb 28 May 1936 vol 312 cc2363-4

11.45 p.m.

Sir P. SASSOON

I beg to move, in page 18, line 27, after "document," to insert "or act."

The Clause deals with the transfer to the Secretary of State of functions of the Air Council in dealing with civil aviation, and this is merely a drafting Amendment to make the original intention clear.

Mr. GARRO JONES

It seems to me that what the right hon. Gentleman has said applies to Clause 21, and not to Clause 20.

Sir P. SASSOON

The intention of the Amendment is to make it clear that the Sub-section extends to acts of the Air Council which may not be strictly in the nature of documents.

Mr. GARRO JONES

What Subsection?

Sir P. SASSOON

Sub-section (3) of Clause 20.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 18, line 28, leave out "or issued," and insert "issued or done."

In line 30, after "document," insert "or act."

In line 33, leave out "or issued," and insert "issued or done."—[Sir P. Sassoon.]
