The text on this page has been created from Hansard archive content, it may contain typographical errors.

This Act may be cited as the Trade Union Act, 1912, and shall be construed as one with the Trade Union Acts, 1871 and 1876; and this Act and the Trade Union Acts, 1871 to 1906, may be cited together as the Trade Union Acts, 1871 to 1912.

I desire to ask before I proceed to move the Third Reading whether it would be in order to make an Amendment which is merely verbal. In the short title it is recited "Trade Union Act, 1912." I propose, in order to put it in proper form, to leave out "1912" and insert "1913."

Amendments made: Leave out "1912" ["cited as the Trade Union Act, 1912"], and insert instead thereof "1913."

Leave out "1912" ["cited together as the Trade Union Act, 1871 to 1912"], and insert instead thereof "1913."
