§ House in Committee (according to Order.)
§ [The Earl of ONSLOW in the Chair.]
§ Clause 1:—
§ LORD BALFOUR OF BURLEIGH said the only Amendment to this Bill was the one standing in his name, viz., to add the following subsection:—"A registrar shall at any reasonable time allow searches to be made in such record of statutory declarations, and shall upon demand give a copy under his hand of any entry therein on payment of a fee of 6d. for each search and 3d. for each copy." He understood that the noble Lord in charge of the Bill was prepared to accept the Amendment with a slight verbal alteration to bring it into conformity with Section 15 of the Act of 1863; and, though the effect of this would be to charge 6d. more for a search and 3d. more for a certificate than he proposed, he would accept the alteration and move his Amendment in that form.
§
Amendment moved—
In page 2, line 2, after the word 'post,' to insert the following new subsection: (3) A
53
registrar shall at any reasonable time allow searches to be made in such record of statutory declarations, and shall upon demand give a copy under his hand of any entry therein on payment of the fee for a search and a certificate respectively provided by Section 15 of the Vaccination (Scotland) Act, 1863.'"—(Lord Balfour of Burleigh.)
§ Remaining clause agreed to. Standing Committee negatived. The Report of the Amendment to be received to-morrow; and Bill to be printed as amended. [No. 161.]
