HC Deb 06 July 1966 vol 731 cc592-3

Amendment made: No. 26, in page 28, line 4, at end insert: (e) supply of protective clothing, that is to say, clothing suitable for the protection of the wearer against inclement weather or against dirt from handling dirty cargoes.—[Mrs. Shirley Williams.]

Mrs. Shirley Williams

I beg to move, Amendment No. 27, in line 8, to leave out "or" and to insert "and".

This Amendment changes one word "or" to "and"—although it is more important than may be at first apparent. It makes it possible for welfare schemes to include the provision of a canteen and mess room in which dockers may, if they wish, eat the food which they have brought with them. It does not make it obligatory, only possible.

Amendment agreed to.
