HC Deb 29 June 1938 vol 337 cc2067-8

11.8 p.m.

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I beg to move, in page 35, line 5, to leave out "intimate," and to insert "declare."

This Amendment is consequential upon a similar change in a new Clause.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 35, line 11, leave out from beginning, to "include," in line 13, and insert: (2) The right which a producer of pigs has to nominate a curer as the person to whom he desires any of his pigs to be sold shall, where that producer is such a curer as is mentioned in Sub-section (1) of this Section. In line 23, leave out from the second "to," to "another," in line 24, and insert: a declaration by the curer that he desired the pigs in question to be sold to. In line 32, leave out from "right," to the end of the Sub-section, and insert: the contract shall be made in the transferred pig (producer-curers) variant of the form of contract."—[Mr. W. S. Morrison.]

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I beg to move, in page 36, line 13, to leave out from the beginning, to "a," in line 16, and to insert: (5) For the purposes of any provision of this Act imposing a limit on the total quantity of pigs, or of pigs of any description,' which may be contracted to be delivered in a contract period under long contracts. This Amendment and the one which follows it are largely drafting. Clause 23 (4) provides for the total number of pigs to be contracted for in each of the three years during which the subsidy may be paid. Subsidies may not be paid on contract pigs in excess of these maximum figures. Under Sub-section (7) of the new Clause the Marketing Board must exercise its powers of making contracts so as to secure that the total quantity of pigs contracted to be delivered does not exceed such quantity as the Development Board may direct. The first Amendment makes the provision in the words which I have proposed, and the following Amendment is consequential upon that provision.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 36, line 20, leave out "the said Sub-section," and insert "Subsection (4) of Section twenty-three of this Act."

In line 24, leave out "and (b)," and insert "(6)."

In line 33, after "premises," insert "in Great Britain."—[Mr. W. S. Morrison.]
