§ Mr. John SilkinI beg to move Amendment No. 52, in page 12, line 30, leave out 'possible' and insert 'practicable'.
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. George Thomas)We shall take at the same time Government Amendments Nos. 53, 154, 158, 160, 162, 167, 182, 184, 185, 186, 190, 195, 199 and 200.
§ Mr. SilkinI am almost tempted to deal with all these amendments seriatim, for they are all the same. They are minor drafting amendments. In Committee, the hon. Member for North Fylde (Mr. Clegg)—I am sorry he is not here to hear my tribute—pointed out that, no doubt because we had a plethora of draftsmen for different parts of the Bill, several phrases for exactly the same purposes were being used—"as soon as possible", "as soon as practicable", "as soon as may be", and so on. We agreed to see whether we could use the same wording throughout and these amendments are greatly to the credit of the hon. Member and the draftsmen.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsI hesitate to say whether it is possible for any of us on this side of the House to object to such a practical series of amendments.
§ Amendment agreed to.
