HC Deb 04 June 1930 vol 239 cc2185-6

Lords Amendment: In page 2, line 4, leave out "four," and insert "six."

Mr. W. GRAHAM

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

This Amendment deals with the period during which schemes may be submitted. The period mentioned in the Bill is four weeks. In the course of the discussions in another place, 10 weeks was suggested as the period, but eventually, as a compromise, six weeks was inserted. I think there is nothing in this particular point; it only allows a little more time, and does not make any difference as to the date on which schemes come into operation.

Lords Amendment: In page 2, line 40, leave out "and" and insert "or."

Mr. W. GRAHAM

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

This Amendment is purely of a drafting character, providing that a new district scheme may be submitted by the central council or a district organisation.
