HC Deb 17 January 1967 vol 739 c196
Mr. John Mackie

I beg to move Amendment No. 33, in page 25, line 20, at the end to add: (4) This section, except subsections (1)(b) and (2), extends to Northern Ireland. The Amendment is necessary to ensure that information obtained by persons in Northern Ireland by virtue of Part I of the Bill shall be subject to the same rules and penalties relating to disclosure as those applying to persons obtaining information in the rest of the United Kingdom. Effectively, the Amendment will bite only in respect of information obtained by virtue of an order under Clause 11(1.d)—supervision and enforcement of Calf Subsidy Schemes—since the remainder of Part I, with the exception of Clauses 10 and 12, does not extend to Northern Ireland. I hope the House will agree that it is right that information obtained in Northern Ireland should be protected in this way and I therefore ask the House to approve the Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.
