§ Captain CrookshankI beg to move, in page 15, line 29, to leave out paragraph (a)and to insert:
(a) there shall be left out of account contributions and payments made in accordance with Section thirty-three, thirty-four, or thirty-five of this Act;This Amendment directs the Treasury, when making an estimate of receipts and payments which they have to make under Part I of the Bill, to disregard contributions and payments made with regard to charities, public utility undertakings and highways. The reason for not taking into account charities is that the ordinary property owner, on whom may fall the burden of increased contributions, should not be required to make payments to bodies paying one-third or no contribution. With regard to public utilities and highways, they will both be separate schemes, and contributions will be made to those schemes.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
