WOMEN'S SERVICES

HC Deb 27 July 1981 vol 9 cc913-4

Lords amendment: No. 10. in page 31, line 31, at end insert— 8A. In section 2(1) of the Marriage (Registration of Buildings) Act (Northern Ireland) 1967, in paragraph (a) for the words following "is serving in" there shall be substituted the words "any of the regular armed forces of the Crown" and in paragraph (b) for the word "mentioned" there shall be substituted the word "included".

Mr. Goodhart

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. 18.

Mr. Goodhart

Turning to the schedules, amendment No. 10—and the consequential repeal in amendment No. 18—is the first of a number of consequential amendments required in respect of Northern Ireland legislation. The amendment is the Northern Ireland equivalent of the amendment already contained in schedule 3, part II, paragraph 8, which results from the statutory assimilation of the women's Services. I commend it to the House.

Question put and agreed to.
