I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

The purpose of this Amendment is to provide retailers with a defence against any proceedings which may be brought against them under the operation of Clause 5. The Bill is designed to regulate stamp schemes as a whole and particularly the operations of the stamp companies, and it is thought appropriate that retailers should not be unduly burdened and should be given a defence if they have not behaved unreasonably.
