HC Deb 22 March 1956 vol 550 c1560
Mr. Henderson Stewart

I beg to move, in page 21, line 28, to leave out subparagraph (i).

This is a drafting Amendment.

Mr. M. Stewart

Will the hon. Gentleman clear up a point for me? How can an Amendment to leave out a whole subparagraph be a drafting Amendment? We swallowed it a little earlier when the hon. Gentleman said that an Amendment to leave out a whole Clause was a drafting Amendment. We now have another example. Perhaps he will unravel the problem.

Mr. Henderson Stewart

It is, technically, only a drafting Amendment. The reason for the Amendment is that Clause 24, which was added to the Bill in Committee, makes unnecessary the proviso which it is proposed to delete.

Amendment agreed to.
