§ Lords Amendment: In page 3, line 20, leave out "which," and insert "whom."
§ 3.53 p.m.
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir John Simon)I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
The House, in examining the Bill, may have observed that in Clause 3, Subsection (1), the phrase "any Minister of the Crown to whom" is used, whereas in Sub-section (2) of Clause 3 the phrase employed is "any Minister of the Crown to which." "To whom" is more appropriate for a Minister of the Crown than "to which." I, therefore, move that we agree with the Lords Amendment.
§ Question, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment," put, and agreed to.
