HC Deb 13 February 1929 vol 225 cc457-8
Sir E. TURTON

I beg to move, in page 32, line 18, after the word "of," to insert the words "all or any of."

This Clause apparently contemplates the delegation of the functions of maintenance and repair and improvements. As there may be some instances in which it may he necessary to delegate some improvement scheme, I think it is necessary to insert the words which I have proposed.

Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

I beg to second the Amendment.

Colonel ASHLEY

I do not think I can accept this Amendment. If the county council does decide to delegate its functions to the rural district council, it must delegate all the functions and not some of them.

Amendment negatived.
