HC Deb 12 August 1913 vol 56 c2458

The council of every county shall be a local authority within the meaning of this Act.

Mr. BENN

I beg to move, after the word "county," to insert the words "and borough and the common council of the City of London."

Mr. HOGGE

I think we ought to have some explanation from the hon. Gentleman. He has gone round the Lobbies getting us not to move Amendments on the ground that if we move them he would not get the Bill. Now he is moving a second Amendment.

Mr. BENN

These Amendments are privileged Amendments. The Bill originated in the House of Lords, and they would not put these in. Therefore they must be regarded as blanks.

Amendment agreed to.
