HC Deb 14 May 1953 vol 515 c1541
The Solicitor-General

I beg to move, in page 23, line 21, to leave out "first day of July," and to insert "thirtieth day of September."

This Amendment alters the date of the commencement of the Bill to 30th September, and the reason for the alteration is to enable this Bill to come into force very close to the time when it is hoped that another consolidation Bill will also reach the Statute Book, because it will be very inconvenient if a very long time elapses between the commencement of the one and the commencement of the other.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
