HC Deb 30 May 1938 vol 336 cc1761-2

Lords Amendment: In page 14, line 22, at the end, insert: and the scheme may provide for determining any of the matters aforesaid either generally or in relation to particular areas or particular descriptions of white fish.

9.27 p.m.

Mr. W. S. Morrison

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

This was inserted in order to meet the point raised by the hon. Member for Dundee (Mr. Foot) and the hon. Baronet the Member for Berwick-on-Tweed (Sir H. Seely). It was represented by them and by others that a certain amount of elasticity was desirable because the conditions for the distributive trade were not the same in every part of the country. The effect of the Amendment is to enable the various matters that are to be determined by the scheme to be determined in relation to different areas of the country.
