HC Deb 18 February 1944 vol 397 cc588-9
Mr. McCorquodale

I beg to move, in page 13, line 2, to leave out "or the Secretary of State," and to insert "the Secretary of State or the Minister of Home Security."

This is a matter of omission. Unfortunately the words "the Minister of Home Security" were omitted at the top of page 13 after "the Secretary of State." As there are certain persons who come under the aegis of the Ministry of Home Security, the Minister's name should have been put in. We apologise for leaving him out, and ask the Committee to put him in, in the Places mentioned in this and the following three Amendments.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 13, line 17, leave out "or the Secretary of State," and insert "the Secretary of State or the Minister of Home Security."

In line 20, leave out "or Secretary of State," and insert "Secretary of State or Minister of Home Security."

In line 24, leave out "or Secretary of State," and insert "Secretary of State or Minister of Home Security."—[Mr. McCorquodale.]

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