§ The Solicitor-GeneralI beg to move, in page 26, line 27, after the second "of," to insert:
subsection (4) of section eighteen of this Act or of.The Committee will remember that it has already approved Clause 18 (4). The notice thereby provided for is for the advantage of the manufacturers, and it is not unlikely that the Northern Ireland Parliament will want to provide them with similar protection. Without the Amendment there might be some obstacle to its doing so, because of the restrictions upon its own legislation.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralI beg to move, in page 26, line 28, to leave out "section seventy-seven," and to insert:
sections seventy-seven and eighty-three.This Amendment is concerned only with the importation of food into Northern Ireland. In this land the importer would have his third-party defence, and probably the Northern Ireland Parliament may wish him to have the same defence. This is to enable it to do so if it should wish.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralI beg to move, in page 26, line 31, at the end, to insert:
(b) for repealing so much of the said First Schedule as relates to section seventy-seven or section eighty-three of the principal Act, or to section fourteen or sections seventeen to twenty-one or section twenty-four of this Act.The intention is to leave enforcement to powers to be enacted by the Northern Ireland Parliament. Pending that time, certain provisions of the principal Act are applied and after that it will be necessary to repeal them. The object of this Amendment is to enable repeal to be effected.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
