HC Deb 17 February 1955 vol 537 cc741-2
Mr. Ward

I beg to move, in page 121, line 10, at the end, to insert: but does not, except where otherwise expressly provided, include any such court outside Her Majesty's dominions. The object of the Amendment is to make it clear that, except where otherwise provided, the expression "civil court" includes only a court within Her Majesty's Dominions.

Amendment agreed to.

Motion made, and Question proposed. That the Clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill.

1.0 a.m.

Mr. Wigg

The Under-Secretary will have heard the discussion which took place on Clause 226 of the Army Bill, and I want to raise the same points with him. The right hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for War was kind enough to give us an assurance that he would join in conversations with the senior members of the Opposition and that the Leader of the House would join with him in those conversations. I should be much obliged if he would give the Committee a similar assurance, and perhaps I may add one point more.

The Chairman

Is the hon. Member speaking on Clause 223 or 224?

Mr. Wigg

Clause 224.

The Chairman

I will first put Clause 223.

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