HC Deb 10 May 1948 vol 450 c1897

Motion made, and Question proposed: "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

12.16 a.m.

Lieut.-Commander Gurney-Braithwaite (Holderness)

I notice Mr. Beaumont, that you have not selected the Amendment in the name of the hon. Member for Gorton (Mr. Oldfield): In page 1, line 8, after the second "the", insert "widows or". Perhaps one may, on the question that the Clause stand part, repeat the argument made in the report of this Committee which dealt with this important question.

The Deputy-Chairman

The Amendment in the name of the hon. Member for Gorton has not been selected, but it can be discussed later on the new Clause standing in the name of the Leader of the House.

Clause ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clauses 2 and 3 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
