HC Deb 24 June 1968 vol 767 c86

ADVERTISEMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS DIRECTED TO PRACTITIONERS

Mr. Snow

I beg to move, Amendment No. 80, in page 77, line 25, to leave out 'in any way'.

This is an important little Amendment. The facts about it are well known to members of the Standing Committee on the Bill but, out of courtesy, I think I should explain to the House that the hon. Member for Liverpool, Garston (Mr. Fortescue) moved an Amendment in Committee to insert a reference to the concept of "to a material extent" after the requirement in subsection (3,b) of Clause 88 that the advertisement or representation should not be in any way inconsistent with the particulars contained in the data sheet. On that occasion I accepted on behalf of my right hon. Friend that this provision might be interpreted rather too strictly and I suggested that instead of inserting a reference to "to a material extent" the words "in any way" should be deleted. The hon. Gentleman accepted that, and I undertook to move an Amendment to do that, and this I now do.

Mr. Fortescue

I am most grateful to the Parliamentary Secretary for having done what he said he would do.

Amendment agreed to.

Forward to
