§ Mr. YoungerI beg to move Amendment No. 84, in page 36, line 37, leave out
'the faithful execution of his office and for'.The amendment is designed to overcome difficulties which have been brought to our notice by the local authority 418 associations and which are being experienced by the finance officers of local authorities when attempting to take out insurance cover for officers who might have to handle cash and so on. I understand that insurance companies have been refusing to give cover for the phrase "the faithful execution of office", because they do not regard this as an insurable risk. There is, therefore, no point in retaining the words in the statute.
§ Amendment agreed to.
