HC Deb 01 July 1954 vol 529 cc1635-6
Mr. Blyton

I beg to move, in page 82, line 11, at the beginning, to insert: Notwithstanding the provisions of Part XV of this Act. We have put the Amendment on the Paper to clear the air, because we are dubious that the apprehended-danger Clause, about which we talked so much in the Committee may be compromised by Part XV of the Bill. We do not want that Clause to be mixed up with the appeal tribunal procedure, and we want to clarify the position. Perhaps the Attorney-General will be able to assure us that the apprehended-danger Clause is paramount. If we get an assurance that it is paramount and away from the tribunal procedure, I shall be quite satisfied to withdraw the Amendment.

Mr. Finch

I beg to second the Amendment.

The Attorney-General

I can give the assurance that the Amendment proposed is unnecessary, and the assurance for which the hon. Gentleman asks.

Mr. Blyton

In view of what the Attorney-General has said, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the Amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
