HC Deb 14 December 1960 vol 632 cc546-50

Again considered in Committee.

Mr. Renton

I was saying that I am quite willing to give an undertaking to consider this matter further so long as meanwhile the Government Amendment is accepted. I hope that I do not sound to be forcing the issue in saying that, but I think it right that those concerned should see the Government Amendment added to the Bill and in any fresh thoughts they may have on the matter they will be able to take stock of the position in the light of it. I hope that will be acceptable.

Mr. Wigg

That course of action is entirely agreeable to me. I am sorry if I did not make myself clear when asking the hon. and learned Gentleman to go a little further, that I would withdraw my Amendment in favour of the Government Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
