§ 3.28 p.m.

§ Read 3^a, with the Amendments.

§ THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (THE EARL OF LISTOWEL)
My Lords, I beg to move an Amendment: at page 18, line 3, leave out from "incorporated" to "this" in line 5, and insert "with".

§ Amendment moved— Page 18, line 3, leave out from ("incorporated") to ("this") in line 5 and insert ("with").—(The Earl of Listowel.)

§ LORD CARRINGTON
My Lords, could we have some sort of explanation?

§ THE EARL OF LISTOWEL
Most certainly, my Lords. This is a late Amendment put forward by the Promoters of the Bill, and copies of the Amendment lie on the Table of the House.

§ LORD CARRINGTON
What is it for?

§ THE EARL OF LISTOWEL
It is a verbal amendment of this clause, and for that reason I did not think your Lordships would expect me to advance any arguments in support.

§ On Question, Amendment agreed to.

§ Bill passed, and returned to the Commons.
