This Bill is merely enabling us to ratify and adhere to certain conventions.
Industrial and Commercial Property (Protection) (Amendment) Bill, 1956—First Stage.
Leave granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Industrial and Commercial Property (Protection) Acts, 1927 and 1929, so as to implement the revised Industrial Property Convention signed at London in 1934, the revised Berne copyright Convention signed at Brussels in 1948 and the Universal Copyright Convention signed at Geneva in 1952 and to provide for other matters connected with the matters aforesaid.—(Minister for Industry and Commerce.)
It is not proposed to take this before the Adjournment?
I think the Deputy will see that it is rather a formal matter. I am not pressing it.
Second Stage ordered for Wednesday, 12th December.
