HC Deb 16 July 1969 vol 787 cc622-3

As amended (in the Committee and in the Standing Committee), further considered.

Mr. Speaker

There are one or two slight modifications in the selection list I have had published today. I take this opportunity of commending not so much those who help me in the formidable task of selecting Amendments for the Finance Bill, as those who type and duplicate the lists in order to serve the convenience of right hon. and hon. Members. It is not an easy task, to be done in a hurry. It was a little late yesterday for obvious reasons. I think that the list has been got out all right today.

I do not know whether I need call attention to the changes, but on page 6826, Amendment No. 89, standing in the name of the hon. Member for Birmingham, Northfield (Mr. Chapman), in page 73, line 30, at end insert: Importation of aromatic bitters shall be exempt from spirit duties. For the purposes of this Schedule, 'aromatic bitters' means bitters, aromatic, containing 44 to 49 per cent. alcohol, and 1.5 to 6 per cent. by weight of gentian, spices and other ingredients, 4 to 10 per cent. by weight of sugar, and packed in containers of capacity less or equal to 0.5 litres. is selected, while Amendment No. 300, standing in the name of the hon. Member for South Angus (Mr. BruceGardyne), in page 77, line 40, at end insert: (cc) after the word 'asbestos' in subparagraph (i) shall be inserted the words 'or polyolefin'; and after the word 'fabrics' shall be inserted the words 'and fabrics which consist wholly of blends or mixtures of jute, felt, glass fibre, asbestos or polyolefin'. is not selected.

On page 6837, Amendment No. 312, standing in the name of the right hon. Member for Thirsk and Malton (Mr. Turton), in page 15, line 7, leave out '£425 and £680' and insert '£440 and £700', is not selected.

On page 6843, Amendment No. 238, standing in the name of the hon. Member for Windsor (Sir C. Mott-Radclyffe), in page 21, line 43, at end insert: 'or

  1. (d) in carrying out any works for which a grant has been, or will be, given on the advice of the appropriate Historic Buildings Council'.
is selected.

On page 6856, Amendment No. 311, standing in the name of the right hon. Member for Enfield, West (Mr. Iain Macleod), in page 126, line 9, at end insert: 12. Paragraph 1 of Schedule 61 to the Finance Act, 1965, shall be amended by inserting at the end of sub-paragraph (1)(d)(iv) the following proviso:— 'Provided that for the purpose of this sub-paragraph (iv) a company resident in the United Kingdom, the whole of whose share capital is owned by another company resident in the United Kingdom, shall not be regarded as a subsidiary'. is not selected. These are the only new features of today's list.
