HC Deb 06 March 1963 vol 673 c593
Mr. Whitelaw

I beg to move, in page 42, line 34 to leave out "issued under section 38" and to insert: such as is mentioned in section 38 (6)". Perhaps it would be for the convenience of the House to discuss at the same time the next two Amendments.

The Clause affected by the Amendments relates to the falsification of documents. The purpose of the Amendments is to make the wording more specific. The general wording "issued under section 38" relating to exemption certificates is replaced by such as is mentioned in section 38 (6). The second Amendment rectifies a printing omission and the third Amendment does away with the general phrase "any such certificate" and "any such instrument" and specifies the type of certificate and instrument. I hope that the words are more specific, and as such I commend them to the House.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: line 40 after "instrument," insert "as".

In page 43, line 1, leave out from second "of" to "makes" in line 4 and insert "a fire certificate or the grant or extension of an exemption under section 38 of this Act or the issue under regulations under this Act of an instrument whereby exemption is granted from any provision of the regulations."—[Mr. Whitelaw.]
