HC Deb 13 December 1926 vol 200 c2711

Lords Amendment:

In page 4, line 7, after the word "undertakers" insert the words

11.0 P.M.

and, where the scheme relates to a specified area, for interconnection by means of such lines of the system of the Board in that area with the system of the Board in any other area with respect to which a scheme is then in force or may subsequently he made.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

The object is to make it clear that interconnection may take place, not only within an area, but between that area and any other area.

Lords Amendment: In page 5, line 32, after the word "complaint," insert the words unless the complaint is one with respect to which no relief other than pecuniary compensation can he awarded.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

The object is to provide that, where there is only the possibility of giving pecuniary compensation, the scheme shall not be hung up while the pecuniary compensation is being assessed.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
