HC Deb 23 February 1938 vol 332 c458

Amendment made: In page 6, line 10, leave out "year," and insert "period." —[Captain Wallace.]

The Solicitor-General

I beg to move, in page 6, line 19, at the end, to insert: Provided that the preceding provisions of this Section shall, in relation to the renters' quota period beginning with the first day of April, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, have effect as if in those provisions for the word 'three' there were substituted the word 'six.' This is little more than a drafting Amendment. Clause 5, as now drafted, allows small renters to combine for quota purposes with not more than one renter who has acquired more than three long films in a six months' period. The Amendment provides that in the first year, when the renters' period is 12 months, not more than one renter with whom the smaller renters may combine may have acquired more than six films, instead of three.

Amendment agreed to.
