I beg to move, in page 15, line 6, to leave out Subsections (2) and (3).
While discussing this Amendment I should like also to mention the two following Amendments: in page 16, line 2, to leave out from "any," to the end of line 3, and to insert "electricity holding company," and in page 16, line 32, to leave out from "any," to "company" in line 33, and to insert "electricity holding." These Amendments are paving Amendments to the proposed new Clause —(Bodies to whom Part II of Act applies)—which we shall move later. I hope, therefore, that we shall have the agreement of the Opposition to allow these Amendments to go through as paving Amendments, on the usual understanding.Amendment agreed to.
Further Amendments made: In page 16, line 2, leave out from "any," to end of line 3, and insert, "electricity holding company."
In line 32 leave out from "any," to "company," in line 33, and insert, "electricity holding."—[ Mr. Gaitskell.]
Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill."
On a point of Order, Mr. Beaumont. We do not intend to debate this Clause, but I take it, in regard to future Clauses, now that we are back in Committee, not merely the Amendments but the Clauses as a whole are subject to the general consideration of the whole Committee?
Debate on the Clause, as amended, will be permitted.
Question put, and agreed to.
Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
