HC Deb 18 April 1975 vol 890 c903
Mr. Mates

I beg to move Amendment No. 6, in page 7, line 40, leave out ' if he is resident'.

I am advised that these words appear to be unnecessary, and I am referred to Section 9 of the Hearing Aid Council Act 1968, with which the Bill seems to have a remarkable affinity—It was quoted at least half-a-dozen times in Committee. It is desirable to leave questions of jurisdiction to the courts and not to deal with them in the Bill.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. Mates

I beg to move Amendment No. 7, in page 8, line 9, leave out ' determined or discontinued' and insert: ' disposed of or withdrawn or fails for want of prosecution '. This is a drafting amendment and is meant for greater clarity.

Amendment agreed to.
