§ (1) In the application of this Act to Scotland references to the Scottish Board of Health shall be substituted for references to the Minister of Health.
830§ Mr. MUNROI beg to move, at the end of Sub-section (1), to insert the words:
(b) for the reference to The Housing, Town Planning, &c., Act, 1919, there shall be substituted a reference to The Housing, Town Planning, &c. (Scotland), Act, 1919;(c) for the reference to Section sixty-nine of The Local Government Act, 1888. there shall be substituted a reference to Section sixty-seven of The Local Government (Scotland), Act, 1889;(d) for the reference to the Public Health Acts, 1875 to 1908, there shall be substituted a reference to the Public Health (Scotland) Acts, 1897 and 1907;(e) for reference to Section eighteen and Sections eighty-four to ninety of The Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, there shall be substituted references to Section seventeen and Sections eighty-three to eighty-eight, respectively, of The Lands Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Act, 1845;(f) in Section three of this Act the expression "local authority" means a county council or a town council.These are really drafting Amendments to the Scottish Clause. They follow the terminology of that country, and are purely interpretative.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Mr. MUNROI beg to move, "That the Bill be re-committed to a Committee of the whole House in respect of a new Clause ('Rates of Wages and conditions of Labour on works of public utility')."
I make this Motion for the purpose of enabling the hon. Member for Nottingham West (Mr. Hayday) to move a new Clause of which he has given me notice, a Clause which, I understand, inasmuch as notice has not been given of it, cannot be taken upon the Report stage.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Bill considered in Committee.
