HC Deb 19 May 1971 vol 817 cc1409-10

10.15 p.m.

The Lord Advocate

I beg to move Amendment No. 5, in page 24, line 10, leave out 'increased' and insert 'varied'.

Mr. Speaker

I suggest that the House should take Amendments 5 and 6 together.

The Lord Advocate

Yes, Mr. Speaker. These are both drafting Amendments which were tabled as a result of representations put before the Committee by the hon. and learned Member for Edinburgh, Leith (Mr. Ronald King Murray). They are self-explanatory, and I am sure they will be acceptable to the Opposition.

Mr. Ronald King Murray

The Opposition welcome these Amendments which, as the Lord Advocate has so generously said, were the result of pressure from the Opposition. We are most satisfied that this Amendment has been put down.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment No. 6 made: In page 24, line 13, leave out 'larger' and insert 'other'.—(The Lord Advocate.)
