HC Deb 22 July 1985 vol 83 c784
The Solicitor-General for Scotland

I beg to move manuscript amendment No. 76, in page 42, line 34, leave out "subsections (6) and (7)" and insert "subsection (6)"

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we may discuss Government amendments Nos. 24 and 33.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

The manuscript amendment is consequential on amendment No. 24 and comes immediately before it.

Mr. Dewar

I am sure that the amendment is only technical, but we do not have a copy of it. Perhaps the Solicitor-General for Scotland will explain it. I understand from the noises behind me that no one else has seen it.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Perhaps the Solicitor-General for Scotland will help the House by explaining a little further.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

I had hoped to move quickly since there is nothing mysterious about the amendment, which reads page 42, line 34, leave out 'subsections (6) and (7)' and insert 'subsection (6)'. I am sure that the hon. Member for Garscadden agrees that the amendment is desirable and necessary.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 24, in page 44, line 5, leave out subsection (7).—[The Solicitor-General for Scotland.]
