HC Deb 29 July 1937 vol 326 cc3490-1
Lords Amendment

In page 18, line 36, leave out from "that" to the end of line 40, and insert: no such service after the thirty-first day of December, nineteen hundred and twenty shall be taken into account

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

This Amendment raises a question of Privilege.

12.1 a.m.

Mr. Elliot

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

This Amendment was proposed in another place, and raises a question of Privilege, but I hope it will not incur any condemnation on that account since it is an Amendment that was asked for by all parts of the House, including the opposite benches. It carries out an undertaking.

12.2 a.m.

Mr. Mathers

We are all pleased that an Amendment of this kind is included. It was due to the insistence of the Scottish Members that it has been put in both the English and Scottish Bills, and we have done a good stroke of business in getting it made.

Question put, and agreed to.—[Special entry.]
