HC Deb 23 November 1909 vol 13 cc18-9

(1) Regulations may be made by the Lord Lieutenant for determining the priority in which advances, whether by means of money or of stock, or partly by means of money and partly by means of stock, may be sanctioned or made, and for allocating as between different classes of sales the amounts from time to time suitable for advances.

(2) The regulations shall provide that in determining the priority as between sales of the same class regard shall be had —so far as is reasonably practicable—to the dates at which proceedings for the respective sales were commenced, or, in cases where proceedings are transferred from one class to another, to the dates of the respective transfers.

(3) Every regulation made under this Section shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament as soon as may be after it is made.

Mr. BIRRELL

I hope the House will agree with the Lords in this Amendment. It is a business matter. I think this Amendment meets the necessities of the case. I move.

Question, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment," put, and agreed to.
