§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(Lord Marley.)
§ LORD HASTINGSMay I at this point ask the noble Lord, Lord Marley, if in respect of Clause 9—[Importation of bulls rejected in Ireland]—it is definitely understood that in spite of the 1226 fact that the coming into force generally of the Act is to be delayed, this particular Clause 9 actually comes into force directly the Act is passed into law?
§ LORD MARLEYI do not think Clause 9 is amended. I think Clause 9 is as it left your Lordships' House.
§ LORD HASTINGSYes. But there has been a postponement in respect of certain parts of the Act. An alteration has been made in the date upon which it comes into law, which I shall refer to later on, and the agricultural community are particularly anxious that Clause 9 should come into effective force on the date of the passing of the Act.
§ LORD MARLEYI think that is a question of interpretation.
§ LORD HASTINGSI wonder if the noble. Lord could interpret?
§ LORD MARLEYI am sorry I feel I cannot help the noble Lord.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
