§ Mr. D. M. Keegan (Nottingham, South)I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
I should like to say just a few words, if I may, Mr. Speaker, about all four of the Lords Amendments, because they are all consequential upon each other. The object of the Amendments which were made in another place is simply to clarify the drafting of the Bill. It was discovered, when the Bill left this House, that the wording was somewhat cumbersome, and that it could be put to rights by this and the three other simple Amendments. They in no way alter the sense of the Bill; they are simply designed to make the Bill more easily understood.
§ Mr. Gerald Nabarro (Kidderminster)I beg to second the Motion.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Further Lords Amendments agreed to:
§ In line 13, leave out lines 13 to 17.
§ In page 2, line 26, leave out from "applies" to "is" in line 27.
§
In page 3, line 7, at end insert:
Provided that this subsection shall not apply to an agreement made more than six months after the dissolution or annulment of the marriage.
