HC Deb 06 July 1939 vol 349 cc1632-3
Mr. Cross

I beg to move, in page 32, line 37, after "take," to insert "such."

It has been represented to us that under the Clause as drafted it would be open to anyone inspecting mill premises to take samples of anything that he might find in the mill, and that clearly goes far beyond the intention of the Bill. More over, it can occur that a producer will be engaged on some new fabric that does not come under a price scheme, and it would be undesirable that inspectors should have the right of removing samples of that kind or of any kind not affected by a scheme. The Amendment makes it clear that samples will be required to be in connection with a scheme.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 32, line 38, at the end, insert: as he may reasonably require for those purposes."—[Mr. Cross.]
