HC Deb 12 July 1972 vol 840 c1773
Mr. Deputy Speaker (Miss Harvie Anderson)

We come now to Amendment No. 136, in page 43, line 17, leave out '£600' and insert '£650'. It will be convenient if we take with it Amendments No. 137 and No. 138.

Dr. Gilbert

The Amendment is self-explanatory. We have discussed these matters at great length already and, while it would be possible to have a general economic debate about it, I hardly think that it would be in harmony with the wishes of the House. I hope that on this occasion it will not be necessary for the Government to explain to us what our Amendment means. Unless anyone wants to say anything about it, I do not propose to move the Amendment.
