Clause 1, page 2, line '13, at end insert—
("(3) Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this section shall prejudice the power of the Court to admit a person as a solicitor in pursuance of the Colonial Solicitors Act, 1900, Or under section fourteen or section fifteen of the Act of 1933.")
§ LORD KEITH OF AVONHOLMMy Lords, may I move the first Amendment on the Paper and say a short word in explanation of that Amendment? It is a safeguarding Amendment to make sure that nothing in the Bill will impair the jurisdiction of the Court to admit solicitors under the provisions of the Colonial Solicitors Act, 1900, or under the Act of 1933. It was not the intention of the Bill—and I do not think the Bill would have so operated—to take away this power of the Court; but the object of the Amendment is to make assurance doubly sure. I bog to move that this House doth 'agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Keith of Avonholm.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
