HC Deb 18 April 1967 vol 745 c401

Lords Amendment: No. 3, in page 19, line 14, leave out from "scheme" to "or" in line 15 and insert "knowingly".

Mr. Hoy

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

This is a technical drafting Amendment to achieve conformity with similar provisions in the Agriculture Acts of 1937, 1947 and 1957. The sense of the wording is not affected. There is a corresponding Amendment in page 79, line 14, of Clause 67.

Mr. Godber

We welcome the Amendment most warmly. There is a moral in it. One word has been found to take the place of thirteen words. If this could be achieved in other drafting respects, it would help materially.

Question put and agreed to. [Special Entry.]
