HC Deb 18 July 1933 vol 280 c1695

4.2 p.m.

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Major Elliot)

I beg to move: That the Lords reason for insisting on certain of their Amendments, Lords Amendment to Commons Amendment in lieu of Lords Amendment, and Lords Amendments in lieu of one other Amendment, to which the Commons have disagreed, and Lords consequential Amendments to the Bill, be now considered. I think we shall not take long over these Amendments, because they are, in fact, simply carrying out the understanding which I informed the House would be reached, and that we should come to an agreement between the two Houses.

Lords Amendment to Commons Amendment to the Bill, in page 11, after line 10, insert new Clause (Validity and commencement of orders under Part II), in lieu of Lords Amendments disagreed to by the Commons: In Sub-section (4) of the proposed new Clause, leave out from the word "Act"("Act and") to the end of the Clause, and insert: unless the final decision in proceedings duly begun during the said period is that the order is invalid, the order shall be conclusive evidence that the requirements of this Act have been complied with in relation to the making of the order, and that the order and any scheme approved thereby have been duly made and approved respectively and are within the powers conferred by this Act.

Motion made, and Question, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment,"put, and agreed to.—[Major Elliot.]

Lords Amendment to the Bill in lieu of Commons Amendment to the Bill in page 13, line 34, in lieu of Lords Amendment in page 13, line 39, disagreed to by the Lords, to leave out Clause 12, and insert:
