§ As amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.
§ 5.38 p.m.
§ Mr. Donnelly (Pembroke)On a point of order. May I ask for your guidance, Mr. Deputy-Speaker? The new Clause—(Definition)—standing in my name and that of other hon. Members is meaningless without a number of Amendments which come later on. I wonder whether you would be agreeable to our discussing the whole question of a Welsh Committee for the white fish industry on the new Clause?
§ Mr. Deputy-Speaker (Colonel Sir Charles MacAndrew)I think it would be easier to discuss together the new Clause and the proposed Amendment in page 2, line 13, to leave out from "constituted" to "for" in line 14, and to insert:
two committees (hereafter in this Act referred to as 'the Scottish and Welsh Committees').
§ The Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries (Mr. Thomas Williams)Since the whole of the Amendments relating to Wales are devoted to one purpose, would it not be to the general advantage if we had one debate covering the whole field instead of sub-dividing it?
§ Mr. Deputy-SpeakerI anticipated that if we took the new Clause the Government would resist it, in which case all the other Amendments will fall. I thought that would perhaps save time.
§ Mr. DonnellyWould you be agreeable to our discussing the whole question on the new Clause?
§ Mr. Deputy-SpeakerThe new Clause plus the Amendment to which I referred, concerning the Welsh Committee. That would meet the point.
§ Mr. DonnellyThank you very much.
