HC Deb 21 October 1976 vol 917 cc1726-7
Dr. John A. Cunningham

I beg to move Amendment No. 22, in page 19, line 18, leave out 'and'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we may take Government Amendment No. 23.

Dr. John A. Cunningham

Amendment No. 22 is the first of the two amendments that we are considering and is a paving amendment to the second. In fact, the word "and" is misplaced. It should have appeared at the end of line 20.

The second amendment defines "United Kingdom legislation" referred to in the clauses of the Bill. It makes it clear that the expression "United Kingdom legislation" does not mean only legislation of this Parliament but includes enactments of other legislatures in the United Kingdom.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 23, in page 19, line 23, at end insert ';and United Kingdom legislation" includes any enactment for the time being in force in any part of the United Kingdom.'.—[Dr. John A. Cunningham.]
