HC Deb 04 May 1937 vol 323 c1083

8.41 p.m.

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I beg to move, in page 50, line 15, to leave out from beginning to end of line 18, and to insert: consider any objections to the by-laws which have been duly made, and may, after holding such inquiries (if any) as he thinks fit, make such modifications in the by-laws as he may, after consultation with the Commission, consider desirable: Provided that—

  1. (a) where an objection to the by-law's has been duly made by any person appearing to the appropriate Minister to be affected thereby, and has not been withdrawn, the Minister, unless he considers the objection to be frivolous or irrelevant or finless the objection has been met, shall, before taking any further action with respect to the by-laws, direct the holding of an inquiry with respect to the objection and consider the report of the person holding the inquiry; and
  2. (b) if the appropriate Minister decides to make any modifications in the by-laws he shall cause notice of the proposed modifications to be published in such manner as he thinks best adapted for informing persons affected."
The reasons for this Amendment are exactly similar to those which I explained on the Amendment to the Third Schedule, in page 48, line 18. It is merely a continuation of the effort to brim; the Schedules into line.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 50, line 27, leave out paragraph 5.—[Mr. W. S. Morrison.]
