Clause 13—(Advisory Committee)

Volume 465: debated on Wednesday 25 May 1949

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

I beg to move, in page 13, line 46, to leave out "legal procedure," and to insert "the work of the courts."

This Amendment follows the exact wording of the Rushcliffe recommendations, and makes it clear that people with knowledge of the courts, although they are not lawyers, will be eligible to advise on the Advisory Committee—such as social workers, magistrates and persons of that kind.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 14, line 7, after "operation," insert "and finance."

In line 8, at end, insert:

"and when the committee have considered it shall lay before each House of Parliament a copy of it and of any comments or recommendations made by the committee."—[The Attorney-General.]
