HC Deb 24 October 1956 vol 558 cc783-4
Mr. Walker-Smith

I beg to move, in page 50, line 23, to leave out "preceding."

Perhaps we might take with this Amendment the following Amendment, in line 26, and also the Amendment in page 51, line 19.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 50, line 26, leave out "preceding."

In page 51, line 19, leave out "preceding."—[Mr. Walker-Smith.]

10.30 p.m.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I beg to move, That further consideration of the Bill, as amended, be adjourned.

We have made good progress with the Bill today, but the next Clauses raise issues of importance and controversy.

Mr. Anthony Greenwood

I entirely agree with the Parliamentary Secretary. Those Clauses are among the most controversial in the Bill, and it would be a great pity to embark upon them at this time of night. It is only right that hon. Members who have not found it convenient to stay until this stage should be here to contribute their wisdom to what, I hope, will be a fruitful discussion.

Bill, as amended (in the Standing Committee), to be further considered Tomorrow.
