§ Sir K. WoodI beg to move in page 52, line 28, to leave out "in anticipation of action by the enemy," and to insert:
with a view to preventing or hindering the carrying out of any attack by the enemy;441 This Clause brings the scope of the commodity insurance scheme, in so far as the scope of risks is concerned, into line with the definition of "war damage" contained in Clause 71 of the present Bill. The Amendment is consequential upon the similar Amendment made to Clause 71 at an earlier stage. The object is to make it clear that war damage will not cover damage which results from measures taken for reasons of personal safety, such as damage to goods caused by the stoppage of work in order to take shelter, and matters of that kind.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§
Further Amendment made: In page 52, line 30, at the end, insert:
(iv) precautionary or preparatory.measures involving the doing of work on land and taken under proper authority in any way in anticipation of enemy action, being measures involving a substantial degree of risk to property." — [Sir K, Wood.]
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
§ Clause 70 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
