Mrs. Maddock: I anticipated the Minister's reaction to the amendments and I maintain that the Government are wrong on this. They are encouraging men not to commit themselves to long-term relationships and denying help to women who are in long-term cohabiting relationships where men hold all the cards. If the amendments are not passed, the principle of men holding all the cards will be upheld. The Government's attitude is disappointing and I hope that many hon. Members will support the amendments.
Question put, That the amendment be made:--
The House divided: Ayes 207, Noes 261.
Tellers for the Ayes:
Tellers for the Noes:
Question accordingly negatived.
Mr. Streeter:
I beg to move amendment No. 60, in page 41, line 35, after 'that' insert
