HC Deb 22 July 1943 vol 391 cc1179-80
The Attorney-General

I beg to move, in page 5, line 27, at the end, to add: (2) Any decision of the Minister given before the passing of this Act which corresponds, apart from any difference arising from the terms of the Royal Warrant, Order in Council or Order of His Majesty, as the case may be, in force when the decision was made, with such a decision as is referred to in Section one of this Act, shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, to be such a decision, and an appeal shall lie therefrom accordingly This is really a drafting Amendment. It is to get over technical difficulties which might have been raised upon the alteration of the Royal Warrant. It might have been said that if the Minister's decision was given in different words, it could not be subject to appeal.

Amendment agreed to.

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