APPROVAL OF PERSON PROPOSING TO BECOME CONTROLLER OF INSURANCE COMPANY WHERE SECTION 33 DOES NOT APPLY (Hansard, 17 July 1973)

§ Mr. Millan
I beg to move Amendment No. 23, in page 30, line 30, leave out have ' and insert 'has'.
This is another effort on the part of the Opposition to improve the Bill. In 392 this case we seek to improve the grammar of the Bill and no doubt the amendment will be accepted by the Government.

§ Mr. Anthony Grant
Nothing pleases me more than grammatical improvements and, therefore, I am happy to accept the amendment.

§ Mr. Anthony Grant
I beg to move Amendment No. 24, in page 31, line 1, leave out 'associated with' and insert 'a controller of'.
This is, in essence, only to a minor drafting point, based on an amendment moved in Committee by the hon. Member for Dudley (Dr. Gilbert). He proposed a provision relating to "the" controller; the amendment recognises that there may be more than one.
This amendment is to a large extent presentational rather than substantive. It gets rid of the unnecessarily pejorative expression "not a fit and proper person to be associated with the company "and substitutes the more correct reference to" a controller". This is consistent with the amendment made in Committee to Clause 2(1).
