HC Deb 30 June 1965 vol 715 cc719-20
Mr. MacColl

I beg to move, Amendment No. 46, in page 15, line 2, after "under" to insert "paragraph 10 of".

This is a very short and crisp Amendment which deals with a drafting problem which caused some trouble in Committee. The previous reference to the Schedule did not indicate which paragraph was involved. I was advised at the time, and I am still advised, that probably it was clear from the point of view of construction what was referred to, but it seemed to me fair that it should be made clear to the layman that only paragraph 10 was involved.

Mr. Graham Page

I am grateful to the Joint Parliamentary Secretary for making it clear, not only to the layman but to the lawyer as well.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. MacColl

I beg to move Amendment No. 47, in page 15, line 5, to leave out from "exceeding" to the end of line 6 and to insert: fifty pounds and, on a second or subsequent conviction, to a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds". This is an Amendment to bring the penalty provisions in this Clause into line with the alteration to the other penalty provisions previously made with the approval of the House.

Amendment agreed to.
