HC Deb 27 July 1944 vol 402 cc979-80

Lords Amendment: In page 81, line 36, leave out "any penal establishment," and insert, "pursuance of an order made by any court."

Mr. Butler

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

The object of these words is to remove the rather unpleasant idea that the words "detained in any penal establishment" were apt to apply to persons detained in approved schools. They were not intended to apply to such people and that is the reason for the Amendment.

Question put, and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments to page 82, line 39, agreed to.
