HL Deb 20 July 1936 vol 102 cc74-5

Enactments which may be applied by Order in Council.

Paragraph (2) of Section three hundred and twenty-seven of the Public Health Act, 1875.

VISCOUNT SWINTON moved, in Part I, to leave out "Paragraph (2) of Section three hundred and twenty-seven of the Public Health Act, 1875." The noble Viscount said: I beg to move.

Amendment moved— Page 45, leave out lines 10 and 11.—(Viscount Swinton.)

LORD STRABOLGI

May I ask why this is left out? I am sure it is all right, but I do not think we ought to pass it without knowing.

VISCOUNT SWINTON

The reason is this. Those provisions are disappearing under a revision of the Local Government Acts. They will cease to exist in the course of a very short time I understand.

LORD STRABOLGI

This is anticipatory?

VISCOUNT SWINTON

It is slightly anticipatory.
