I beg to move in page 12, line 30, to leave out "meaning," and to insert "including."

In consequence of the passing of the Army and Air Force (Womens Services) Act, women now will be capable of serving in the Army or Air Force as an integral part of those Forces. That being so, it is necessary that we should make this Amendment in order that they can rank definitely as members of the Forces under this Clause.

Amendment agreed to.
