HC Deb 26 June 1963 vol 679 cc1472-3

10.15 p.m.

Mr. du Cann

I beg to move, in page 23, line 29, at beginning to insert: Paragraph 8 of Schedule 4 to this Act, and the provisions of paragraph 10 of that Schedule modifying the application of the said paragraph 8 in certain cases, shall have effect for reducing or removing a charge to tax imposed otherwise than under Case VIII by virtue of any of the three foregoing sections (excluding section 22 (5)) as they have effect in relation to a charge to tax imposed under Case VIII, and". It may be for the convenience of the House to consider this Amendment with Amendment No. 125. This Amendment is a purely drafting Amendment and Amendment No. 125 is consequential upon it.

Mr. Callaghan

We want to make progress but this really is not the way to make progress. Can we be told where Amendment No. 125 is and what it is about?

Mr. du Cann

I apologise if I have not made the matter as clear as I could have done to the House. I thought that it was understood that these two Amendments went together. Amendment No. 125 relates to Schedule 5. The two go together and the second is consequential upon the first.

Amendment agreed to.

The Solicitor-General

I beg to move in page 24, line 42, to leave out "section 22 of this Act or".

This Amendment is consequential on the Amendment to Clause 22, which the House has already considered, and as the word "term" no longer appears in Clause 22, because that has been removed by the House, the reference to that Clause in Clause 25 should be taken out.

Amendment agreed to.
