I beg to move, in page 8, line 18, to leave out "to the effect stated in," and to insert: stating the effect of. This is the first of three Amendments, consequent upon an Amendment which was made in the Committee. The first two are improvements upon the wording. The present effect of the Clause is that the National Assistance Board will he required to put notices in every office. That would be the head office, the regional offices and all the other offices. I am sure that that is not the intention of those who proposed the Subsection, but that notices should be only in offices where assistance is given.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 8, line i9, leave out "displayed in a prominent place," and insert "conspicuously displayed."

In line 19, leave out from the second "in," to "every," in line 20.—[Mr. Steele.]
