HC Deb 01 July 1954 vol 529 cc1596-7

7.30 p.m.

Mr. Joynson-Hicks

I beg to move, in page 55, line 6, to leave out "employed at a mine."

This Amendment and the next deal with a point which caused doubt in the Committee. The doubt was whether in the Bill as drafted the expression a person employed in a mine included a manager or under-manager. The object of the Amendment is to ensure that a manager or under-manager is included within the provisions of the Clause.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 55, line 7, after "does." insert "at a mine."

In line 8, leave out "employed."—[Mr. Joynson-Hicks.]

Amendment agreed to.
