§ Mr. Alan ClarkI beg to move amendment No. 9 in page 8, line 20, leave out from 'effect' to '; and' in line 22 and insert
'as if it did not require section 2 of this Act to be satisfied in relation to that election'.This amendment is, if anything, more technical than its predecessors. During debate in Committee, Opposition Members said that the language of clause 6(3)(a) was not readily comprehensible. Ministers undertook to see whether it could be simplified. The amendment makes clearer what the effect of clause 6(3)(a) will be without altering its substance.
§ Amendment agreed to.
