HC Deb 27 May 1941 vol 371 cc1739-40
The Attorney-General

I beg to move, in page 4, line 19, after "his," to insert "accrued." This Amendment and the series of Amendments following it, are the result of a discussion on the Committee stage over an Amendment relating to the words which define the position of those entitled to take advantage of the procedure laid down by this Bill. For instance, a man who has present and future debts, and cannot discharge both, should be able to come within the provisions. I think that these Amendments clear the matter up.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 4, line 19, leave out "and," and insert: or will be unable, after payment of his accrued debts (if any).

In line 22, after "his," insert "accrued,"

In line 24, leave out from "would," to "recovering," in line 25, and insert "have no reasonable prospect of preserving or."

In page 5, line 25, leave out "those Acts," and insert "that Act."—[The Attorney-General.]
