Mr. Corfield

I beg to move. That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

This is the first of several Amendments which affect the House of Commons Disqualification Act, 1957. The only new element introduced is the provision contained in subsection (2), which disqualifies members of the Staff Commission sitting in the House of Commons.

Question put and agreed to.
