HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 c1885

5.45 p.m.

Mr. Younger

I beg to move, in page 31, line 22, to leave out "including," and to insert, "being."

This Amendment, and the next, are designed to meet a point which was made in Committee where it was suggested that we ought to alter the emphasis in describing the composition of the Advisory Council on Child Care. The Amendment is designed to put more emphasis on the appointment of persons specially qualified in matters affecting the welfare of children, but at the same time providing for the appointment of persons having local government experience.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 31, line 23, at end, insert: and persons having such other qualifications as the Secretary of State considers requisite. Among the persons appointed under this subsection there shall be persons having experience in local government."—[Mr. Younger.]
