Motion made, and Question proposed,
That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
§ Sir D. MACLEANI am not quite clear about this Amendment, and I think there is something wrong. With its insertion the opening words of the Clause will read," it shall be lawful for the local authority of any burgh."
§ Mr. CLYDEThis is immediately followed by another Amendment after Clause 48 which states that in this part of the Act the expression "local authority" means the local authority for the purpose of the Public Health (Scotland) Act, 1897.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
