HC Deb 07 December 1937 vol 330 cc355-6

11.50 p.m.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Captain Euan Wallace)

I beg to move, in page 1, line 18, to leave out: as from the date on which it is. The two Amendments on the Paper are simply to bring the Bill into line with something that has happened since it was printed. The Merchant Navy Officers' Pension Fund has now been registered under the Superannuation and Other Trust Funds (Validation) Act, 1927. When the Bill was introduced, the registration had not been effected, and it is necessary for us to put into the Bill the precise date on which the registration was effected.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 2, line 1, after "1927," insert: on the eighteenth day of November, nineteen hundred and thirty-seven."—[Captain Wallace.]

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Bill reported, with Amendments; as amended, considered; read the Third time, and passed, with Amendments.
