§ Question proposed, That the Clause stand part of the Bill.
§ Mr. Stratton MillsI want to ask the Committee to consider subsection (6) briefly. I have in mind the phrase "the Northern Ireland Executive." The same phrase is also used in Clause 19 in an important sense and in Clause 39. I wish to inquire into the thinking behind the use of the phrase.
§ Mr. WhitelawI understand that subsection (6) is basically a matter of common legal form and that there is nothing subtle and nothing beyond that to it. It is the legal way in which one does these things. If there is any further point, I am prepared to look into it and to write to my hon. Friend.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Clause 7 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
