HC Deb 27 March 1935 vol 299 cc2054-5

11.2 p.m.

Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKE

I beg to move, in page 1, line 6, at the beginning, to insert: The power of the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries under.

I move this Amendment in the unavoidable absence of my hon. Friend the Member for East Leicester (Mr. Lyons). This and subsequent Amendments are purely drafting Amendments which do not affect the Bill in any way.

Mr. PIKE

I beg to second the Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 1, line 7, leave out from "1923," to the end of the Clause, and insert: to make orders for the regulation of fisheries shall extend to eel fisheries and elver fisheries, and accordingly the said Section shall have effect as if for the words 'or freshwater fisheries' there were therein substituted the words freshwater fisheries, eel fisheries, or elver fisheries.'"—[Mr. Smedley Crooke.]
