HC Deb 19 February 1963 vol 672 cc259-390

Order for consideration, as amended (in the Standing Committee), read.

4.8 p.m.

The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Mr. Christopher Soames)

I beg to move, That the Bill be recommitted to a Committee of the whole House in respect of the Amendments to Clause 13, page 9, line 33, standing on the Notice Paper in the name of Mr. Christopher Soames. The purpose of this Motion is to permit the Committee to deal with an extension to the list of items which can be seized and on which we would wish to be able to pay compensation. Hence, money is involved and it is necessary to recommit the Bill. I suggest that while we are in Committee we should take the Amendment to Clause 10, page 8, line 12, in the name of my right hon. Friend the Member for Thirsk and Malton (Mr. Turton).

Question amended, by adding, at the end: and in respect of the Amendment to Clause 10, page 8, line 12, standing on the Notice Paper in the name of Mr. Turton".—[Mr. Turton.]

and, as amended, agreed to.

Bill immediately considered in Committee.

[Sir WILLIAM ANSTRUTHER-GRAY in the Chair]
