§ 11.7 a.m.
§ The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Ede)I beg to move, in page 2, line 23, to leave out from "Acts." to "by," in line 24.
I suggest that it would be convenient to consider at the same time the next Amendment, in line 26. These are drafting Amendments designed to cure a possible ambiguity pointed out by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West (Mr. Powell) during the Committee stage. I think that they will remove any doubt.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§
Further Amendment made: In line 26, at end, insert:
for an order relating to the custody of an infant (including, in the case of proceedings by the mother, an order requiring the father to make payments to the mother towards the infant's maintenance)."—[Mr. Ede.1]
