HL Deb 28 July 1931 vol 81 c1279

Page 20, line 38, leave out from the beginning to the end of line 17, page 21.

The Commons disagree to the above Amendment for the following Reason:

Because they consider it desirable that an Agricultural Land Corporation should be constituted for the purpose of promoting agricultural development and of conducting large scale farming operations.

VISCOUNT HAILSHAM moved that this House doth insist on the said Amendment. The noble and learned Viscount said: My Lords, this is really consequential on the leaving out of Clause 1, on which the Government were defeated. It ought not to read quite as I have it on the Paper, because the lines which we left out were lines relating to Clauses 1, 2 and 3. We have kept out Clause 1, and we have allowed Clauses 2 and 3 to go in a modified form. Therefore, I move that the House doth insist on its Amendment in page 20, line 38, so far as it leaves out paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Clause 22.

Moved, That this House doth insist upon the said Amendment.—(Viscount Hailsham.)

On Question, Motion agreed to: the said Amendment insisted upon accordingly.
