HC Deb 22 July 1969 vol 787 c1628

Lords Amendment No. 2: In page 6, line 30, leave out from "that" to second "to" in line 31 and insert: appears to the Post Office to be requisite, advantageous or convenient for it".

Mr. Joseph Slater

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

The House will recall that my right hon. Friend agreed to look again at the drafting of this part of Clause 7 after it had been criticised on Report in this House by the hon. Member for Woking (Mr. Onslow), the hon. Member for Yeovil (Mr. Peyton) and also by the hon. Member for Norfolk, Central (Mr. Ian Gilmour). Their friends in another place put forward this Amendment which the Government were happy to accept.

Question put and agreed to.
