I beg to move Amendment No. 6, in page 3, line 14, leave out subsection (2) and insert: (2) In subsection (4) of the said section 47 for the words 'forty pounds' there shall be substituted the words 'seventy five pounds'. The Amendments with which we have been dealing have been highly technical. It has, nevertheless, been possible to deal with them quite shortly, or, at all events, I hope that it has been apparent that we on this side of the House have had in mind the desirability of getting on with the business and not going into all the technicalities. But we regard Amendment No. 6 as the most important of the Amendments which we have on the Notice Paper and I preface my remarks by saying that it will take a little longer than the earlier Amendments.
