Clause 9 - Arrangements with third parties
International Development Bill [Lords]
12:00 pm
Mrs Caroline Spelman (Meriden, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 16A, in page 3, line 35, leave out from `agreements' to end of line 2 on page 4 and insert
`consistent with the aims of this Act set out in sections 1 and 3'.
This is a simple amendment. It is designed to simplify clause 9. We had an extensive debate on the Bill's aims, as set out in clauses 1 and 3. I was looking to provide a more specific application of those aims; my previous amendments would have added another five subsections. I thought that it would simplify the Bill if clause 9 condensed the aims set out in those clauses. They do not need to be reiterated.
