§ 1.17 a.m.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Elystan Morgan)I beg to move Amendment No. 1, in page 1, line 12, leave out 'four' and insert 'five'.
This Amendment is consequential on the inclusion in the Bill of Clause 6, which was added in Committee. The Amendment would substitute "five" for "four" in subsection (3), which contains the basic definition of "theft"—that is
… the intention of permanently depriving the other of it …Subsection (3) applies Clauses 2 to 5 to the operation and interpretation of Clause 1. The Amendment ensures that 468 Clause 6 also applies for the purposes of that Clause.
§ Amendment agreed to.
