§ Mr. Walter Harrison (Treasurer of Her Majesty's Household)Hon Members will see that the next paragraph of the motion on the Order Paper reads:
That the Minutes of the Evidence taken before the Select Committee on Science and Technology and before the Sub-committee appointed by that Committee in the last Session of the last Parliament, together with Appendices, be referred to the Committee:These words should be omitted. They are a repeat of an order from last Session's terms of reference, and are no longer appropriate.
Mr. Deputy SpeakerThat seems a reasonable request, and I expect that the House will agree that the motion be carried with the deletion of those words.
§

That the Minutes of the Evidence taken before Sub-committees of the Select Committee on Science and Technology in the last Session of the last Parliament, together with the Minutes of the Evidence taken before Sub-Committee D of the Select Committee on Science and Technology in Session 1972–73 be referred to the Committee.—[Mr. Walter Harrison.]
