HC Deb 12 May 1969 vol 783 cc1119-20
Mr. Joseph Slater

I beg to move Amendment No. 129, in page 144, line 47, leave out from 'in' to end of line and insert: subparagraph (1)(b), (c) or (d) above'. This is a drafting Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. Joseph Slater

I beg to move Amendment No. 130, in page 145, line 18, leave out 'Post Office' and insert department of the Postmaster General'. Again this is a drafting Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. Joseph Slater

I beg to move Amendment No. 131, in page 147, line 36, leave out 'Acts' and insert 'Act 1965'.

This is a correction.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. Ridley

Mr. Deputy Speaker, as there appears to be a large number of correcting and drafting Amendments, would it be possible to put them en bloc in order to save time? Otherwise we shall be here till midnight.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Harry Gourlay)

I understand that the right hon. Gentleman intended to make such a proposition. If the House agrees, I approve.

Mr. Stonehouse

I should like to respond to that very sensible suggestion made by the hon. Member for Cirencester and Tewkesbury (Mr. Ridley), and I propose that as all the remaining Amendments on the Paper are similar in character—either drafting or corrections—we should take them all together.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

To keep the record straight, I propose to put the Amendments to each Schedule.
