§ 11.6 a.m.
§ The Minister of State, Commonwealth Relations Office (Mr. Cledwyn Hughes)I beg to move, in page 2, line 23, to leave out subsection (3).
The reason for this Amendment is procedural. The Clause was inserted in another place, where the Bill was first taken, in order to avoid questions of privilege arising. This Bill varies the incidence of taxation by giving relief. There is no provision which entails the expenditure of public funds. Payment from United Kingdom funds to the Secretariat will be approved by Parliament in the annual Appropriation Act and paid from the C.R.O. Vote, but these payments are not provided for in this Bill, which is concerned only with immunities and privileges.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
§ Schedule agreed to.
§ Bill reported, with an Amendment; as amended, considered; read the Third time and passed, with an Amendment.
