HC Deb 11 May 1944 vol 399 c2116
Mr. Butler

I beg to move, in page 82, line 26, to leave out "and."

This Amendment is to be read in conjunction with the next Amendment, on which I shall have something to say when I move it.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. Butler

I beg to move, in page 82, line 26, after "1899," to insert: and Sections one and two of the Education Act, 1921. The object of this Amendment is to repeal Sections 1 and 2 of the Education Act directly the appointment of the new Minister of Education takes place. This is necessary in view of the relevance of Section 1 of the 1921 Act and the drafting of our Bill as passed by the House. The matter was overlooked at an earlier stage.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 82, line 28, leave out from "a," to the second "of," in line 29, and insert "Minister."—[Mr. Butler.]
