HC Deb 13 March 1946 vol 420 c1170

Order for Consideration, as amended (in the Standing Committee), read.

6.20 p.m

The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Ede)

I beg to move, That the Bill be re-committed to a Committee of the whole House in respect of the Amendments to Clause 1, page 2, line 8, and Clause 12, page 13, line 8, standing on the Order Paper in my name. The first of these Amendments will enable me to fulfil a pledge which I gave in the Committee, and the second deals with the difficult point that was raised by the hon. Member for Weston-super-Mare (Mr. Orr-Ewing) during the Committee stage, which I hope to be able to deal with in the way indicated on the Order Paper.

Bill immediately considered in Committee.

[Major Milner in the Chair.]
