HC Deb 05 December 1949 vol 470 c1656

Lords Amendments agreed to: In page 3, line 20, leave out "in England."

In line 21, leave out for divorce or nullity of marriage.

In line 25, leave out "such", and insert "any."

Mr. Manningham-Buller

I beg to move, as a consequential Amendment, in page 3, line 26, at the end to insert: (3) Section four of the Adoption of Children Act, 1949, shall cease to have effect. This Amendment may appear to be rather odd, as we were considering, earlier, the Adoption of Children Bill which, we hope, will shortly become law. The effect of this alteration is to provide that the rule in Russell v. Russell shall be contained in one Act of Parliament and not spread over two.

Amendment agreed to.

Remaining Lords Amendments agreed to.
