HC Deb 30 July 1956 vol 557 c932

Lords Amendment: In page 2, line 16, at end insert: and as if the regulations referred to in that Act included any document issued by the Registrar.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

The Amendment has a short and simple purpose. In the Bill as drafted the certified copy procedure could really be used to prove only the regulations which are contained in Clause 18, and it has been thought that it might be convenient—I think it certainly would be convenient—to allow the certified copy procedure to be used for other purposes, such as the normal proof of notice served by the Registrar, which can conveniently be done by incorporating the words in the Amendment. This will save time and money.

Question put and agreed to.
