HC Deb 05 May 1939 vol 346 c2294

2.42 p.m.

Mr. Craven-Ellis

I beg to move, in page 7, line 29, to leave out "neglect," and to insert, "culpable neglect of duty."

I move this Amendment at the request of my hon. Friend the Member for Faversham (Sir A. Maitland). The purpose of it is to deal with the point raised in Committee by certain Members who had fears as to what might be the responsibility of those concerned with the general conduct of charitable collections. After full discussion it was thought that there should be some modification of the word "neglect," and, therefore, the words in the Amendment are proposed.

Mr. A. Somerville

I beg to second the Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.
