HC Deb 25 February 1941 vol 369 cc400-1
Captain Crookshank

I beg to move, in page 5, line 12, to leave out from "which," to the end of line 14, and to insert: the hereditament, with the damage not made good, would have as a site. This Amendment arises out of a point to which our attention was called by the hon. Member for the Abbey Division (Sir H. Webbe). The words in the Bill as it now stands do not fully carry out the intention which we have in mind. Therefore, we should like to take them out and insert the words in the Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 5, line 22, leave out "national," and insert "public." — [Captain. Crookshank.]

Captain Crookshank

I beg to move, in page 5, line 29, to leave out "those persons," and to insert "the persons aforesaid."

This is little more than a drafting point. Our attention was called to the point by an hon. Member who said that the words in the Bill were ambiguous, because it was not quite clear which persons were referred to. By putting in "the persons aforesaid," it will be clear that the only persons referred to are those in front of those words.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
