Lords Amendment No. 7: In page 27, line 8, after "infringement" insert , in relation to a system not extending beyond the British Islands

Mr. Stonehouse

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

Mr. Speaker

It has been suggested that we take with this Amendment, Amendments 8 and 9 together.

Mr. Stonehouse

I agree, Mr. Speaker.

These are drafting Amendments to subsection (2) which deals with the offence of infringing the Post Office's telecommunications monopoly. They make it clear how the subsection works when the telecommunications system in relation to which the offence occurs is a system extending beyond these islands.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
