HC Deb 22 July 1977 vol 935 cc2064-5
Mr. Clinton Davis

I beg to move Amendment No. 5, in page 11, line 5, leave out from 'by' to 'a' in line 7 and insert 'the relevant convention court with respect to'.

Mr.Deputy Speaker

With this we may take Government Amendments Nos. 6and 7.

Mr. Davis

These amendments are of a purely drafting nature and substitute references to the relevant convention court, defined in Clause 128, for specific references to the courts or other authorities concerned.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 6, in page 11, line 19, leave out from before 'to end of line 21 and insert the relevant convention court'.—[Mr. Clinton Davis.]

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Myer Galpern)

I call the Minister to move Amendment No. 8 formally.

Mr. Nott

Are you now——

Mr. Deputy Speaker

It has already been discussed, so we cannot debate it now.

Mr. Ian Mikardo (Bethnal Green and Bow)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. With respect, that is not the point. You called Amendment No. 6 to be moved formally, but you omitted to call Amendment No. 7. You moved from Amendment No. 6 straight to Amendment No. 8. We should not like to lose Amendment No. 7 on that account.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

It may be the effects of the Adjournment debate at 1 o'clock this morning. I thought that I had called Amendments Nos. 6 and 7 together, to be moved formally. I thought that that was what I said. However, I will put the Question again.

Amendment made: No. 7, in page 11, line 25, leave out from 'or' to 'determines' in line 27 and insert 'the relevant convention court'.—[Mr. Clinton Davis.]
