§ Mrs. HartI beg to move Amendment No. 56, in page 19, line 25, to leave out "after" and to insert:
"from the start of the academic session next following".
The effect of this Amendment is simply to extend five years after the appointed day to five years from the beginning of the academic session following the appointed day. It is rather a technical Amendment, but it is of considerable importance to the medical students who will need to complete their six-year courses. If the appointed day does not happen to occur at the end of the academic session, they will be in some difficulty.
As the proviso stood, if the appointed day fell half-way through a session, the students would not be entitled to complete their courses, and I am sure that no one would wish that, so I am certain that I shall have the support of the House on this last Amendment.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Bill read the Third time, and passed.
