HC Deb 11 June 1969 vol 784 cc1589-90
Dr. Dickson Mabon

I beg to move Amendment No. 17, in page 20, line 44, leave out subsection (5).

Mr. Speaker

With this Amendment we are to take Amendment No. 34, in page 119, line 7, after '16', insert '(1) (a), (f) or (g)'.

Dr. Mabon

Hon. Members will remember that in Committee I promised that I would look at subsection (5) once again. Of course, it is otiose and I suggest that we delete it.

I also promised to look at Schedule 8. I agree that the reference there in paragraph 37 (b) to the whole of Clause 16 is too wide and, accordingly, I suggest that we should restrict that application to subsection (1) (a), (f) and (g) of Clause 16.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

We were glad to note that the Secretary of State had added his name to our Amendment and therefore agreed with what we had proposed in Committee. Of course, the Amendment is acceptable to us.

Amendment agreed to.
