HC Deb 26 April 1929 vol 227 c1235

Lords Amendment: In page 13, line 31, at the end, insert: (8) Any reference in any Act to the whole number of a county council shall as regards any matter be construed as a reference to the whole number of councillors entitled to exercise deliberative votes in respect of that matter.

Sir J. GILMOUR

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

This Amendment is to make it clear that those who are working on these central bodies shall only be counted in connection with the duties which are allo cated to these particular bodies. It is really more a matter of clarity than anything else.

Question put, and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment to page 13, line 41, agreed to.
