HC Deb 11 July 1975 vol 895 cc948-9

Lords Amendments: No. 28 in page 5, line 44, leave out "section 7 of".

Mr. Hardy

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

I am delighted to use the word "doth" since it seems to me to be very similar to the style of English used in the Authorised Version, which had a large influence in my formative years and which I suspect, Mr. Deputy Speaker, had a similar influence in your formative years.

The deletion of the three words from subsection (2) brings the drafting into line with that used in subsections (1) and (3). I believe the House will agree that their Lordships were wise to make this amendment, and I am delighted to recommend it to the House.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords amendent agreed to.
