HL Deb 31 May 1948 vol 156 c7

Amendments reported (according to Order).

CLAUSE 12 [Matters to be set out in premium receipt books, and to be published]:

LORD AMMON

My Lords, during the Committee stage a new subsection to Clause 6 was added, making ten the minimum age of insurance under the Government Annuities Act, 1929, so as to be consistent with the minimum age for insurance by friendly societies, industrial assurance companies and trade unions. This Amendment and that on page 24, line 23, are designed to secure that the new subsection to Clause 6 need not be included in the approved statement to be published in the Press. I beg to move.

Amendment moved— Page 10, line 3, after ("effect") insert ("of subsections (1) and (2)").—(Lord Ammon.)

On Question, Amendment agreed to.

CLAUSE 20 [Change of designation of "public auditors" to "approved auditors"]:

LORD AMMON

My Lords, during the Committee stage in this House an Amendment was moved dealing with the qualifications of persons to be appointed by the Treasury to be approved auditors, hitherto called "public auditors." The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland was at first omitted as it was then doubtful whether that body was established in the United Kingdom. This doubt has now been dispelled and the name is being added to the list. I beg to move.

Amendment moved— Page 17, line 20, at end insert ("The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland").—(Lord Ammon.)

On Question, Amendment agreed to.

Third Schedule [Matters to be set out in premium receipt books]:

LORD AMMON

My Lords, this Amendment is consequential. I beg to move.

Amendment moved— Page 24, line 23, at beginning insert ("Subsections (1) and (2) of").—(Lord Ammon.)

On Question, Amendment agreed to.
