HC Deb 17 July 1973 vol 860 cc399-400
Mr. Kenneth Baker

I beg to move Amendment No. 37, in page 44, line 34, at end insert 'Amendment'.

The effect of the amendment is that the Bill when enacted will be entitled the Insurance Companies Amendment Act 1973 rather than the Insurance Companies Act 1973. The object of the amendment is merely to reserve the latter title for the Consolidation Act that will bring together the 1958, 1967 and 1973 Acts which it is hoped might be enacted before the turn of the year.

Mr. Milan

That is very good news, because we raised this matter at the early part of our proceedings. We are delighted that there is to be a consolidation measure. We hope that when we get it we shall be able to understand it, but about that I am slightly sceptical.

Amendment agreed to.

Forward to
