HC Deb 25 November 1926 vol 200 c602

Amendment made:

In page 7, line 11, leave out from the word "shall" to the word "apply" in line 14.—[Sir J. Gilmour.]

The LORD ADVOCATE

I beg to move, in page 7, line 17, at the end, to add the words subject to the following modifications:

  1. (a) references to a royal or parliamentary burgh shall be construed as references to a police burgh; and
  2. (b) the amount of the contribution by a police burgh to a county council shall be paid out of the general improvement assessment or such other rate leviable by the town council of the police burgh for the purpose of any Act of Parliament administered by them and payable by owners and occupiers in equal proportions as the council may determine, but shall not be reckoned in any calculation as to the statutory limit of that assessment or rate."
This is giving effect to a thing I undertook to do in Committee in order to continue the existing practice.

Amendment agreed to.
