HC Deb 10 July 1946 vol 425 c417

Lords Amendment: In page line 9, at end, insert: ("(10) Part V of the First Schedule to this Act shall apply (so far as relevant) for the purposes of this Section as it applies for the purposes of that Schedule with the substitution, for references to an option notice date, of references to the date on which a notice exercising an option under Subsection (1) of this Section is given.")

Mr. Shinwell

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

This is rather more than drafting, although it is consequential. It is necessary to provide so that there shall be no disposal of assets between the date of publication of the Bill and the primary vesting date, and that is, in fact, provided for in the Bill. It was necessary to provide this Amendment in order to ensure that the same provisions should apply in the case of patents and designs.
