HC Deb 09 December 1946 vol 431 c819

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

Lieut.-Commander Braithwaite

I suggest to the right hon. Gentleman the Chancellor that as we have an Amendment down to the Third Schedule, which deals with the same matter of blocked accounts, it might be more convenient if any discussion took place at that point.

The Solicitor-General

Speaking for myself, the suggestion made by the hon. and gallant Member for Holderness (Lieut.-Commander Braithwaite) would be very convenient. The machinery for dealing with blocked accounts is developed in detail in the Third Schedule. This is really no more than an introductory Clause.

Question put, and agreed to.

Clause ordered to stand part of the Bill.
