My right hon. Friend's contention that the Government's description of clause 3 as consequential does not automatically mean that it is, is supported by clause 1. He will have noticed the wording in the margin, which states: Amendment of section 1(1)(e) of the Disqualification Acts. However, on closer inspection, the clause provides for qualification in some circumstances, not disqualification.
