HC Deb 27 March 1969 vol 780 cc1835-6

Lords Amendment No. 8: In page 9, line 17, leave out from "in" to second "or" in line 18 and insert the constituency or one of the constituencies in which the area is comprised

Mr. Merlyn Rees

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

This is a drafting Amendment. The words in the Amendment replace the words: a parliamentary constituency comprising the area or any part of it which are at present included in Clause 11(3) of the Bill as part of the require- ments relating to the situation of the office of an election agent for a local government election. In particular, the word "parliamentary" is omitted; "constituency" on its own is sufficient, in view of Section 4 of the House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1949. The additional words in the Amendment have been added in the interests of clarity.

Question put and agreed to.
