HC Deb 12 June 1958 vol 589 cc481-2

Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Clause stand part of the Bill.

Mr. Redhead

I have an Amendment, Mr. Blackburn, in page 4, line 16, to leave out "sweets" and to insert: wines and fermented drinks made from fruit other than grape and from mead and metheglin".

The Temporary Chairman (Mr. F. Blackburn)

The Amendment to Clause 5 is not selected.

Mr. Redhead

Speaking on the Clause, then—

The Temporary Chairman

A debate on the Question "That the Clause stand part of the Bill" would cover the debate on the Amendment to the Fourth Schedule—page 6, line 7, leave out "£1 8s. 6d." and insert "£1 1s. 0d."—since the Schedule deals merely with the rates. It would not, therefore, be possible to repeat the debate later. If the hon. Member wishes to speak on the Question "That the Clause stand part of the Bill", I think that that debate will have to cover the Amendment to the Fourth Schedule.

Mr. Redhead

Does that mean that we are taking them together? I am not sure that I follow your Ruling.

The Temporary Chairman

I am sure that it would be much better if the hon. Member made his speech on the Fourth Schedule, because the Clause deals merely with the rate, and the Amendment to the Fourth Schedule seeks to alter the rate.

Mr. Jay

The debate on the Fourth Schedule will follow our discussion of Clause 5, will it not, in the way that we are now proposing to take it?

The Temporary Chairman

No—the Third Schedule, and then the Fourth Schedule.

Mr. Jay

Between Clause 5 and Clause 6?

The Temporary Chairman

Yes.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Consideration of postponed Clauses 6 to 34 and of new Clauses further postponed till after consideration of Schedules 3 and 4.—[Mr. Maudling.]
