HC Deb 09 August 1966 vol 733 cc1415-54

As amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.

4.16 p.m.

Sir Keith Joseph (Leeds, North-East)

On a point of order. As you will be aware, Mr. Speaker, the main principles lying behind Part IV of the Bill were not discussed on the Floor of the House——

The First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs (Mr. George Brown)

They were.

Sir K. Joseph

—and I think that it would help the House if you could let us know whether you will allow a fairly wide debate on Amendment No. 25, in page 21, line 35, to leave out Clause 25, when the first Clause in Part IV comes before the House for the first time. That would be very helpful.

Mr. Speaker

The debate on Clause 25 can be a fairly wide one. I understand that the principles of the latter were debated in the House, but I will allow a fairly wide debate on Clause 25. With new Clause 1 we can take Amendment No. 43, in page 27, line 31, to leave out Clause 30.
