§ Considered in Committee.
§ [Sir DENNIS HERBERT in the Chair.]
§ Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
§ CLAUSE 2.—(Short title, construction, citation and commencement.)
§ 12.33 a.m.
§ The First Lord of the Admiralty (Mr. Duff Cooper)I beg to move, in page 2, line 38, to leave out Sub-section (2). 2370 There are other Amendments standing in my name. These Amendments are purely drafting Amendments and are due to the fact that the Bill is coming into force on a later date than that for which it was originally drafted. They have only been introduced to bring the Bill up to date. It was expected that the Bill would come into force at the end of last year and therefore these Amendments have been moved.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
