HC Deb 22 March 1929 vol 226 cc2017-8

Lords Amendment: In page 51, leave out from the word "county," in line 10, to the end of the Sub-section.

Sir K. WOOD

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

It may be remembered that in Committee, questions were raised about these words, which require the district councils and their officers to give information to the county council. These words are unnecessary, as a similar provision in more general terms is contained in Clause 119.

Question put, and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 52, leave out from the word "apply," in line 25, to the word "with," in line 26.

Mr. SPEAKER

This Amendment and the next one—in line 28, at the end, to insert: any of the provisions of this Act relating to the transfer, superannuation and compensation of officers and any of the provisions of section sixty-three of the Local Government Act, 1894 —taken together, raise a question of Privilege.

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

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

Mr. BENN

So struck is the right hon. Gentleman with the ability of the other place that he is content to leave financial matters in their hands.

Question put, and agreed to.

Mr. SPEAKER

A note will be made in the Journals of the House that the Amendment was made.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
