HC Deb 06 March 1963 vol 673 cc497-8
Mr. Whitelaw

I beg to move, in page 3, line 29, to leave out subsection (4).

Perhaps it would be convenient, Mr. Deputy-Speaker, to discuss at the same time the Amendment to Clause 77, in page 52, line 32, at end insert: week" means the period between midnight on Saturday night and midnight on the succeeding Saturday night.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

If that is agreeable to the House, yes.

Mr. Whitelaw

The effect of the two Amendments is very simple, to transfer the definition of "week" from Clause 3 to the interpretation Clause, Clause 77. The reason is that the word "week" will appear in a second place in the Bill if the next Amendment that I shall move, which concerns weekly cleaning, is accepted by the House. We do not want to repeat the definition of "week" twice. This Amendment would transfer it to its rightful place in Clause 77, and I hope this will be acceptable to the House.

Amendment agreed to.
