§ Order read for consideration, as amended (in the Standing Committee).
§ 10.43 p.m.
§ The Minister of Food (Major Lloyd George)I beg to move,
That the Bill be re-committed to a Committee of the whole House, in respect of the Amendments to Clause 3, page 4, line 10; Clause 5, page 6, lines 6 and 33; Clause 11, page 11, lines 15 and 35; and new Schedule (Special saving for certain slaughterhouses licensed or registered before 1st October 1939), standing on the Notice Paper in the name of Major G. Lloyd George.The reason why I am asking the House to agree to re-committal is because I undertook to consider further two of the points raised when the Bill was in Standing Committee dealing with issues affecting compensation. Since the Committee stage, a third point has also come to light, and I will, with permission, explain it in detail when we come to the Amendments. None of the Amendments enlarges the field of compensation, nor do they increase the amount of compensation.
§ Bill immediately considered in Committee.
