§ 10.46 p.m.
§ Captain CrookshankI beg to move, in page 26, line 10, to leave out from "worked," to the first "is," in line 11, and to insert "in association with coal that."
During the Committe stage a point was made which it is the intention of the Amendment which I now move to cover. It dealt with the competence of the Commission to acquire certain rights. If they want to acquire in certain cases those minerals that have to be worked with the coal, they have the right to do so. We thought the wording of the Clause would be sufficient but my hon. Friend suggested that it might be made a little 2138 wider. This relates of course only to minerals and rights which can be acquired by agreement and covers what may be worked in association with coal, without necessarily limiting it to the shaft or adit.
§ Amendment agreed to.
