HC Deb 20 October 1950 vol 478 cc2401-2

12 noon.

Mr. Barnes

I beg to move, in page 45, line 32, after "person," to insert: resident or appearing to be resident. We discussed this in Committee, and this is the suggestion of my right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General.

Mr. Manningham-Buller

I would just like to say "Thank you" because this Amendment adopts a suggestion which I put forward. I originally tabled an Amendment to insert the word "resident" after "person" in this Clause. The Attorney-General then moved an Amendment to insert the word "responsible" before the word "person," and I then further suggested that we should have both words. It now emerges that the word "resident" is to have the words: or appearing to be resident added on to it. I think that is a further improvement, and I am grateful to the hight hon. Gentleman for making it.

Amendment agreed to.
