§ In the Title, line 2, leave out ("and nullity").
LORD ALNESSMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment. This is a consequential Amendment following the omission of Clause 4 of the Bill. The Bill now contains no provisions in regard to nullity.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Alness.)
§ VISCOUNT BERTIE OF THAMEMy Lords, if this Commons Amendment is agreed to as printed the Title of the Bill will read "Divorce of Marriage (Scotland) Bill," which is nonsense. I think there is some misprint and that the words meant to be left out are "and nullity of marriage" instead of "and nullity."
LORD ALNESSMy Lords, I confess I had not noticed this. My noble friend will observe that under Clause 8 of the Bill it is stated that the Act may be cited as the Divorce (Scotland) Act, 1938.
§ VISCOUNT BERTIE OF THAMEMy Lords, I think I have made a mistake. I see it stated in the Title that it is a Bill intituled "An Act to amend the law of Scotland in regard to divorce and nullity and dissolution of marriage." Therefore I beg leave to withdraw my strictures.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
