§ (1) As from the date on which a scale of charges is authorised by a local authority in accordance with the provisions of Part IX of this Act, the enactments set out in Part I of the Fifth Schedule to this Act shall cease to have effect so far as relates to the area of that authority to the extent mentioned in the third column of that Part of that Schedule.
§ (2) The enactments set out in Part II of the Fifth Schedule to this Act are hereby repealed to the extent mentioned in the third column of that Part of that Schedule.—[Lord E. Percy.]
§ Brought up, and read the First time.
§ Lord E. PERCYI beg to move "That the Clause be read a Second time."
This is a purely drafting Amendment which repeals certain provisions of the Baths and Washhouses Acts, now superseded by the wider powers of part IX of the Act. We want to include in the fifth Part of this Act the provisions relating 998 to penalties, and so on which we have now in Section 79 of the Act of 1907, which has nothing to do with baths and wash-houses. Therefore we are taking these two provisions from Part IX of the Act and putting them into the new Clause.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Clause read a Second time, and added to the Bill.
