HC Deb 22 July 1965 vol 716 c2124

Lords Amendment No. 9: In page 10, line 3, column 1, leave out "(b)".

Mr. George Thomas

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

Perhaps with this Amendment we could take the remaining three Lords Amendments.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

Yes.

Mr. Thomas

These Amendments correct two minor anomalies. As at present worded, the Bill increases from three months imprisonment and/or a £20 fine to six months' imprisonment and/or a £200 fine the penalties under Section 10 (5, b) of the 1937 Act, but leaves untouched the penalties under Section 10 (5, a). We have removed the anomaly by bringing these penalties into line with each other.

Question put and agreed to.

Remaining Lords Amendments agreed to.
