section 16 of this Act;

§ Mr. MacCollI beg to move, as an Amendment to the proposed Amendment, leave out '(4)' and insert '(5)'.
The purpose of the Amendment is to correct an error which crept in because the existing subsection (4) (b) was added at the same time as the original Amendment was passed. The consequential adjustments were not made as they should have been. Therefore, it is necessary, at this late hour, to make this change in it.
§ Mr. Graham PageThis puts us on this side in grave difficulty. We have a Lords Amendment before us. We had, first, a list of corrections which corrected the Lords Amendments. We then had a revised list of corrections which corrected the corrections. We then had a Government Amendment to the Lords Amendment.
It is all very confusing and difficult to follow when we have 252 Lords Amendments to deal with, of which 22 are new Clauses and three new Schedules. 1439 There are 17 corrections of Lords Amendments, a list of revised corrections, seven Amendments to Lords Amendments, and two consequential Amendments. It really is difficult to follow this sort of legislation.
