HC Deb 02 March 1943 vol 387 c507
The Joint Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. Allan Chapman)

I beg to move, in page 12, line 33, after "1923," to insert: the expression 'the Committee'" means the Agricultural Executive Committee referred to in subsection (1) of section thirty-one of the Agriculture (Miscellaneous War Provisions) Act, 1940. This and the following Amendment are drafting and for clarification to meet the point raised by the vigilance of the hon. Member for Kinross and Perth (Mr. Snadden) on the Second Reading and to make it clear that the whole of Clause 9 applies to Scotland.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 12, line 41, at the end, insert: (b) section nine shall have effect as if the words 'for the purposes of section fifteen of the Agriculture (Miscellaneous War Provisions) Act, 1940, as amended by any subsequent enactment' were omitted."—[Mr. Chapman.]

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

Clauses 19 and 20 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
