CLAUSE 71.—(Power of factory inspectors and local authorities to enter premises and penalty for obstruction.) (Hansard, 14 June 1939)

§ Sir J. Anderson

I beg to move, in page 61, line 7, after "by," to insert "the Minister, the appropriate Department, or."

The object of this Amendment is to make certain that the Minister, or the appropriate Department, has the right of entry for the purpose of any action they may feel it necessary to take under Part V of the Bill with reference to public utilities, and under Part VI with reference to camouflage. Some of the Departments concerned feel that they should have the power, as they report that they have in certain cases experienced difficulty in obtaining the information from the undertakers.
