HC Deb 06 May 1981 vol 4 cc237-8

10.1 pm

The Solicitor-General (Sir Ian Percival)

I beg to move amendment No. 1, in page 32, line 10, leave out 'lst January 1957' and insert '16th July 1956'.

The Chairman

It will be for the convenience of the Committee to take at the same time Government amendment No. 2.

The Solicitor-General

Perhaps I may make this preliminary observation. I shall be happy to give any member of the Committee such explanation—short, medium or long—as he may wish on any of the amendments. But I shall wait to be asked. For the present, I content myself by saying that these two amendments correct a wrong date.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 2, in page 32, line 16, leave out '1st January 1957' and insert '16th July 1956'.—[Mr. Brooke.]

The Solicitor-General

I beg to move amendment No.3, in page 34, line 17, leave out `14(1)(a)' and insert '10(4)(a)'.

This amendment corrects a drafting error. I commend it to the Committee.

Amendment agreed to.

Schedule 2, as amended, agreed to.
