HC Deb 15 June 1956 vol 554 cc916-7

Lords Amendment: In page 2, line 39, leave out "bear" and insert "specify".

11.10 a.m.

Mr. Frederick Mulley (Sheffield, Park)

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

It may be convenient to deal with the substance of all the Amendments to page 2 together. Their purpose is to require that, in addition to the other information on the draw tickets, there shall be specified the date on which the draw or event is to take place. I wish to express the regret of my hon. Friend the promoter of the Bill, the hon. Member for Enfield, East (Mr. Ernest Davies), at his inability to be present today, owing to absence abroad on a Parliamentary delegation.

Nr. J. C. Forman (Glasgow, Springburn)

I beg to second the Motion.

Questions put and agreed to.

Further Lords Amendments agreed to:

In page 2, line 39, leave out first "and"

In line 40, at end insert: and the date on which the draw, determination or event by or by reference to which the prize-winners are ascertained will take place.

Lords Amendment: In page 3, line 4, after "by" insert "or to".

Mr. Mulley

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

The purpose is to extend the restriction on the sale of tickets to persons under 16 years of age so that now they will neither be able to sell or to buy tickets.

Mr. Forman

I beg to second the Motion.

Question put and agreed to.
