HC Deb 22 July 1977 vol 935 cc2063-4
Mr. Clinton Davis

I beg to move Amendment No. 2, in page 3, line 28, leave out 'of the invention'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we may take Government Amendment No. 3.

Mr. Davis

These are purely drafting amendments and are consequential upon the deletion of the words "or other pro- prietor" in Committee. The first amendment removes what are now superfluous words and the second corrects the reference to "either of them", which originally referred back to either the inventor or other proprietor.

Mr. Nott

It is true that these are drafting amendments, but I recall that when we put them forward as such in Committee the Minister was uncertain that this was the correct way of dealing with the matter. I am glad that he has accepted our proposals, and we are happy with what he has suggested.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 3, in page 3, line 30, leave out either of them 'and insert the inventor'.—[Mr. Clinton Davis.]
