Mr. Mitchell

This is a group of technical amendments relating to transfer schemes, designed to ensure that they can work properly in all the circumstances that might arise. The amendments also make it clear that the proposals to transfer property, rights or liabilities put forward if a council participates in a joint undertaking may relate to property, rights or liabilities, which at the time the proposal is put forward, are vested in the joint undertaking rather than in the individual authority.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 143 to 191 agreed to.
