HL Deb 11 July 1898 vol 61 cc453-4

House in Committee (according to order.

LORD MONKSWELL

My Lords, I have two or three very small Amendments, which I hope your Lordships will allow me to introduce at this stage. I have put one on the Paper, but it is not in the proper form. I propose— After the word 'in' in line 9, clause 1, to add the words 'or for the purposes of.' I also propose to alter the short title, so that the Act may be cited as the Post Office Guarantee Act (No. 2), 1898. I do so because a previous Act has already been passed into law dealing with precisely the same subject-matter. I think it is desirable, in order that the two Acts may be on the same basis, that I should add, at the end of clause 3, that the Acts may be cited with the Post Office Acts, 1837 to 1897. I move that these Amendments be agreed to.

Standing Committee negatived.

Amendments agreed to, and Bill reported, with Amendments, to the House.
