§ MATTERS TO WHICH COURT IS TO HAVE
REGARD IN DECIDING WHAT ORDERS
TO MAKE UNDER SECTIONS 2, 3 AND 4
§ The Solicitor-GeneralI beg to move Amendment No. 70, in page 5, line 4, at end insert:
() any physical or mental disability of either of the parties to the marriage;.In Committee, we gave consideration to a change which we were invited to make by the right hon. and learned Member for Huntingdonshire (Sir D. Renton), who expressed the desire that there should be explicit reference in Clause 5 to the case of children suffering from physical or mental disability. We are really concerned with applying the logic of that concession in the Amendment, because we are drawing attention in the same fashion and in the same sense toany physical or mental disability of either of the parties to the marriage ".I recommend the Amendment to the House.
§ Sir D. RentonI rise only to thank the Solicitor-General for meeting this further point which I, too, had put forward in Committee.
While I am on my feet I should like, in conclusion, to thank the right hon. and learned Gentleman for his patience and courtesy throughout the rather complicated and unusual proceedings on this very difficult Bill.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Motion made, and Question, That the Bill be now read the Third time, put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 55 (Third Reading) and agreed to.
§ Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed, with Amendments.
