HC Deb 06 June 1972 vol 838 c395
Mr. Younger

I beg to move Amendment No. 99, in page 27, line 32, at end insert: 'except that in subsection (1) the words from "plus" to the end shall be omitted'. This is a drafting Amendment and is consequential on the Amendment to Clause 30(1) made in Committee. Hon. Members will remember that Amendment No. 201 in Committee was necessary to prevent a conflict between the effects of Clause 29 and Clause 30 as they relate to the increases made in the period to 1st October, 1972.

Mr. Ross

May I raise a simple point? Usually in drafting when it is said "the words from 'plus'" it means the words after "plus". I wonder whether this includes the word "plus" or whether that is to be left?

Mr. Younger

This is to be read in the normal way. The word "plus" is in inverted commas.

Mr. Ross

The word "plus" will remain?

Mr. Younger

indicated assent.

Amendment agreed to.
