Orders of the Day — Succession (Scotland) Bill – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 19 Chwefror 1964.
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.
