HC Deb 29 June 1971 vol 820 c244
Mr. Noble

I beg to move, Amendment No. 19, in page 18, line 37, after "territory ", insert "or an associated state".

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Miss Harvie Anderson)

It would be convenient if at the same time we also discussed Amendments Nos. 20 and 22.

Mr. Noble

These three Amendments are linked. They do not refer to something which was raised in Committee and at which I promised to look. They relate to a technical detail which came to light after studying the Bill more carefully in Committee when we realised that associated States had not been properly included. Associated States include such countries as Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla, St. Lucia and St. Vincent. This is merely to regulate their position in the legislation.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: No. 20, in page 20, line 10, after "territory", insert "or an associated state".—[Mr. Noble.]
