HC Deb 04 April 1951 vol 486 cc309-10
The Solicitor-General

I beg to move, in page 5, line 44, to leave out "another person," and to insert: or recovered from the landlord. This is merely a drafting Amendment to remove an ambiguity.

8.45 p.m.

Mr. Manningham-Buller

I should like to say, "Thank you" to the Solicitor-General for this Amendment and for the previous one, and to assure him that if he had only accepted more of our Amendments the Bill would have been a much better Bill.

Sir P. Spens

I should also like to add my word of thanks to the right hon. and learned Gentleman. I was not quick enough to catch your eye, Mr. Deputy-Speaker, in the last Amendment, and I should like to thank the Solicitor-General for meeting us on that one, all the more so because it was at my request that the matter was reconsidered. It has improved the Bill quite a lot.

Amendment agreed to.
