HC Deb 30 July 1935 vol 304 c2546

Lords Amendment: In page 107, line 13, at the end, insert: or unless they are lands and buildings formerly used for such purposes as aforesaid, or intended or formerly intended to be so used, and are certified by the Governor-General in Council or, as the case may be, His Majesty's Representative, to have been retained for future use for such purposes, or to have been retained temporarily for the purpose of more advantageous disposal by sale or otherwise.

6.29 p.m.

Mr. BUTLER

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

This paragraph has to do with certain lands in Bombay which are not actually being used for central purposes within the meaning of the Sub-section as it stands, and which, therefore, without this Sub-section, would pass to the Provinces without any safeguard for the existing financial arrangement unless we made the specific provision which we propose in this Amendment.

Subsequent Lords Amendments, to page 114, line 2, agreed to.
