HC Deb 27 May 1941 vol 371 cc1744-5
The Attorney-General

I beg to move, in page 16, line 23, after "their," to insert "accrued."

This Amendment, like the other Amendments to this Clause in my name, is consequential.

Mr. Woodburn

Is this just a drafting Amendment? It is not consequential on the previous Amendment.

The Attorney-General

These Amendments are parallel to those we had to Clause 3, and, having amended Clause 3, I thought it would be fair to describe these as consequential.

Mr. Woodburn

May I congratulate my right hon. and learned Friend on finding a solution?

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 16, line 23, leave out "and," and insert: or will be unable, after payment of their accrued debts (if any).

In line 26, after "their," insert accrued."

In line 27, leave out from "would," to "or," in line 29, and insert: have no reasonable prospect of preserving or recovering the business of the firm,"—[The Attorney-General.]
