§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI rise to ask, Mr. Speaker, if you will tell the House the reasons for the reprinting of the Town and Country Planning Bill.
§ Mr. SpeakerThe responsibility is, of course, entirely mine. After the Bill had been printed it was decided that certain provisions imposed a charge upon the people, and should, therefore, have been printed in italics. Those provisions are Subsections (1), (2), and (4) of Clause 62, 382 and Subsection (3) of Clause 78. I may add that it was a very technical matter. I understand that the draftsmen took different views. It was put up to me, as a kind of Solomon, to give an answer. I could not cut it in two, and so I thought it better to have everything concerned in italics in both Clauses. But, of course, not a single word of the Bill is changed.
§ Viscount HinchingbrookeMay I ask a question on Business? I have been rising for half an hour.
§ Mr. SpeakerWe have already been half an hour on Business.
