CLAUSE 78.—(Application to Scotland.)

HC Deb 15 July 1948 vol 453 c1623

Lords Amendment: In page 66, to leave out line 15.

Mr. Ede

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

The re-insertion of the reference to Section 1 is consequential on the restoration of Clause (1) in an amended form to the Bill.

Lords Amendment: In page 66, line 35, at end insert new Clause "I" (Application to Northern Ireland). The following provisions of this Act shall extend to Northern Ireland, that is to say—

• section (Abolition of privilege of peerage in criminal proceedings);
• section seventy;
• Part III of the Tenth Schedule and subsection (4) of section seventy-nine so far as it relates to the enactments specified in the said Part III;

but except as aforesaid this Act shall not extend to Northern Ireland.

Mr. Ede

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

This applies the new Clause we added with regard to the trial of Peers to Northern Ireland.
