HC Deb 25 July 1977 vol 936 cc261-2

Lords amendment: No. 11, in page 14, line 37, leave out "such".

Mr. Clinton Davis

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

I assure the hon. Member for Faversham (Mr. Moate) that this is a drafting correction. The word "such" is redundant.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendment: No. 12, in page 15, line 31, after "broker" insert "or enrolled body corporate".

Mr. Clinton Davis

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we may take Lords Amendment No. 13.

Mr. Davis

These are two drafting amendments. They are to ensure that rules under Clause 19(4)(e) apply in respect of enrolled bodies corporate as well as individual registered brokers.

Mr. Moate

My point is technical. It seems to me that the drafting may still be defective. Although it refers to enrolled bodies corporate, the clause will subsequently refer simply to a person. However, I do not wish to take up the time of the House and I do not have the page reference, and so I shall leave it at that. I hope, though, that the Minister will check to see whether this drafting is technically correct.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendments Nos. 13 to 15 agreed to.
