The first Amendment on the Paper, in the name of the hon. Member for Bodmin (Mr. Foot) and others—to move a new Clause (Power to establish a children's fund)—is outside the scope of the Bill.

Is it not possible to bring this proposed new Clause within the scope of the Bill, having regard to the Title of the Bill, which sets forth that it is a Bill to provide for the regulation of wages of workers in agriculture, and for purposes incidental thereto"? Do not those last words enable it to be moved?

I have taken those words into my consideration.
