HC Deb 30 July 1956 vol 557 c976

Lords Amendment: In page 23, line 40, at end insert: (2) For the purposes of any provision of this Part of this Act referring to two or more or not more than two persons, two or more persons being inter-connected bodies corporate or individuals carrying on business in partnership with each other shall be treated as a single person.

Mr. Walker-Smith

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

This is a drafting Amendment. It removes to the general provisions relating to the Part II of the Bill set out in Clause 25 the provision about inter-connected bodies corporate and individuals carrying on business in partnership which, in the Bill as drafted, is in Clause 23.
