§ Question again proposed.
1472§ The CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS (Mr. James Hope)I beg to move, in line 2, after the word "that," to insert the words
notwithstanding the fact that the allowance of a term of eighty years for the repayment of certain loans is contrary to Standing Order 173A, this House, having regard to the special circumstances mentioned in the Report of the Committee, orders that.This Motion is necessary in order to give effect to the recommendation of the Committee. The Committee, for the reasons stated in their Report, were of the opinion that for various reasons, particularly the nature of the work and its permanence, and the magnitude of the sum advanced, the period of 80 years should be allowed for repayment. That is outside the Standing Order governing these matters, but I take the responsibility of accepting the recommendation of the Committee, and I move accordingly.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Bill, as amended, considered accordingly.
