I beg to move, in page 15, line 35, to leave out "and without" and insert: (2) Without. This is a drafting Amendment, intended to meet a criticism which was made in Committee. The hon. Member for Kilmarnock (Mr. Ross) pointed out that the whole of subsection (1) was contained in a single long and breathless sentence. I agreed that that was so and that, if possible, we should try to break it up. That is what the Amendment does.

I welcome the fact that the Government have accepted yet another of my suggestions.

Amendment agreed to.
