HC Deb 13 July 1933 vol 280 c1376

Lords Amendment: In page 9, line 9, leave out from the word "Board" to the end of line 12, and insert: in connection with the regulation of sales of an agricultural product or the regulation of any matter mentioned in paragraph (f) of Section five of the principal Act.

Major ELLIOT

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

The chief function of the Development Board is to organise the production of secondary products. It may be convenient that the Development Board should also regulate the quantity of the product that is sold. The Amendment enables this to be done, with discretion in the board to retain any or all of its powers in its own hands.

Question put, and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 10, line 9, at the end, insert: and every person who obstructs a person in the exercise of any powers conferred on him by virtue of paragraph (c) of Subsection (4) of this Section shall, for each offence, be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty pounds.

Major ELLIOT

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

This is to remedy an omission which was discovered in another place. No provision has been made in the case of obstruction when an inspection is being made, and it seemed desirable that the provision should be inserted.

Question put, and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments to page 10, line 30, agreed to.
