Clause 1 - The Office of Communications
Office of Communications Bill [Lords]
4:30 pm
Mrs Anne McIntosh (Vale of York, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman can take it as read that as this is a paving Bill, it is a paving
amendment. I would not read into it that we wish to extend the power to other areas.
In view of the comments made by many hon. Members and subject to refinement at a later date, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
The Chairman, being of the opinion that the principle of the clause and any matters arising thereon had been adequately discussed in the course of debate on the amendments proposed thereto, forthwith put the Question, pursuant to Standing Orders Nos. 68 and 89, That the clause stand part of the Bill.
Question agreed to.
Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
