HC Deb 17 July 1968 vol 768 cc1549-50
Mr. Millan

I beg to move Amendment 63 in page 48, line 14, leave out 'the sheriff' and insert— 'any court of summary jurisdiction'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this Amendment I suggest that the House should discuss Amendments Nos. 65, 67, 70, 73 and 82.

Mr. Millan

This group of Amendments change various references to "the sheriff" into references to "any court of summary jurisdiction ". This is the appropriate reference so far as maintenance orders are concerned. The new wording follows the Maintenance Orders Act, 1950.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: No. 64 in line 17, after 'an order', insert 'on any contributor'.

No. 65, in line 24, leave out 'the sheriff' and insert: 'any court of summary jurisdiction'.

No. 66, in line 25, leave out 'resident' and insert 'residing'.

No. 67, in line 27, leave out 'sheriff' and insert 'court'.

No. 68, in line 43, leave out 'it is made' and insert: ''the child is a maintainable child'.

No. 69, in line 44, leave out 'it' and insert 'that requirement'.

No. 70, in page 49, line 5, leave out 'the sheriff' and insert 'any court of summary jurisdiction'.

No. 71, in line 6, leave out 'person liable' and insert 'contributor'.

No. 72, in line 8, at end insert: (7) Where a contributor resides in England or Wales or Northern Ireland this section shall have effect as if for any reference to a court of summary jurisdiction having jurisdiction in the place where the contributor is for the time being residing there were substituted a reference to a court of summary jurisdiction having jurisdiction in any place within the area of the local authority having the care or supervision of the child.—[Mr. Millan.]
