HC Deb 27 May 1957 vol 571 c79
Mr. Amory

I beg to move, in page 14, line 28, to leave out from "containing" to "regulations" in line 29.

The object of this Amendment, and the next one, is to give effect to a wish expressed by a number of hon. Members in Committee, that any change by order in the items of the Second Schedule should be subject to the affirmative procedure and not the negative procedure. The general view was that it would be quite an important change if a new item were added or something were taken off the list, and it was felt that it should be subject to the affirmative procedure. I hope that that explanation will appeal to the House.

Mr. Willey

On behalf of my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Northampton (Mr. Paget) and myself, I should like to thank the Minister for the step he has taken. In this regard, he has exceeded the virtue of my right hon. Friend in the Hill Farming Act.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 14, line 32, after "under", insert "subsection (4) or".—[Mr. Amory.]
