Amendment made: No. 71, in page 17, line 21, leave out from first "a" to "then" in line 22 and insert practising insurance broker dies".—[Mr. Clinton Davis.]

Mr. Clinton Davis

I beg to move Amendment No. 72, in page 17, line 26, leave out "widow" and insert 'surviving spouse".

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we are to take Government Amendment No. 73.

Mr. Clinton Davis

These are essentially drafting amendments to ensure that the surviving spouse of a female practising insurance broker is treated in the same way as his female counterpart. The term "widow" does not allow for this.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made: No. 73, in page 17, line 27, leave out "widow" and insert "surviving spouse".

No. 74, in page 17, line 28, leave out "that" and insert "his".

No. 75, in page 17, line 31, leave out from "a" to end of line 32 and insert practising insurance broker becomes bankrupt". No. 76, in page 17, line 38 [Clause 24], leave out "that" and insert "his".—[Mr. Clinton Davis.]
