§ 10.54 p.m.
§ Mr. SHAKESPEAREI beg to move, in page 51, line 21, after "Minister," to insert:
on an application for an authorisation under this section being made to him by the owner of the land and the authority.154 This and the three following Amendments deal with a point of technical procedure which I explained to the House on Second Reading and I will not repeat it unless required. The doubt was expressed by somebody that this machinery might operate against the wish of the local authority, and it is to make sure that this machinery can only operate if the local authority and the owner and the Minister concur that I move the 155 Amendment. The others are no more than drafting.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§
Further Amendments made: In page 51, line 39, leave out "enter into such covenants," and insert:
discontinue proceedings for the purchase of the land on their being satisfied that such covenants have been or will be entered into by all necessary parties.
§ In page 52, line 3, leave out from "1930," to end of Sub-section.
§
In line 5, to leave out from the first "a," to "shall," in line 7, and insert:
covenant has been entered into with the local authority for the purposes of this section, the authority."—[Mr. Shakespeare.]
