HC Deb 13 May 1971 vol 817 cc668-9
Mr. Lambton

I beg to move Amendment No. 4. in page 63, leave out lines 11 to 14.

I think that it would be convenient to take with it Government Amendment No. 5.

These Amendments are consequential on our decision not to extend to the Army and R.A.F. the offence of behaving with contempt to a superior officer.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: No. 5, in page 63, leave out lines 17 to 19.

Schedule, as amended, agreed to.

Schedules 2 to 4 agreed to.

Bill reported, as amended; as amended, considered.

Motion made, That the Bill be now read the Third time—[Queen's Consent, on behalf of the Crown, signified]

Question put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 56 (Third Reading), and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed, with Amendments.
