§ Captain CrookshankI beg to move, in page 38, line 45, after "machinery," to insert:
excluded by paragraph (d) of this definition and other than any works used mainly or exclusively for the exhibition of advertisements and comprised in any property falling within the proviso to Sub-section (1) of Section fifteen of this Act.This Amendment, and the two which follow, are designed to improve the definition of "land," particularly in its application to machinery forming part of public utility and other undertakings, to which I referred just now. The present definition is defective. The result of the Amendments will be, broadly speaking, that, in the case of a property not rated according to profits, the land will include only the plant and machinery covered by the 1927 Order. In the case of property rated according to profits, the definition will include anything covered by the rating valuation of the undertaking concerned.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Further Amendments made:
§
In page 38, line 45, at the end, insert:
(b) includes anything which, on a valuation for rating purposes for the time being in force made by reference to the accounts, receipts, profits or output of an undertaking, was treated as the subject of an occupation enjoyed by the persons carrying on the undertaking.
§
In page 39, leave out lines 8 and 9, and insert:
(d) does not include any plant or machinery other than such as is included by virtue of paragraph (b) or (c) of this definition.
§
In line 14, at the end, insert:
or for the growing of fruit for sale." — [Captain Crookshank.]
§ The Attorney-GeneralI beg to move, in page 39, line 14, at the end, to insert:
'making good' includes, in relation to war damage, demolition or clearance requisite as a preliminary to. or in the course of, the making good thereof;'owner' in relation to a proprietary interest, has the meaning assigned to it by Section thirty-eight of this Act.434 A point was raised in Committee as to whether the reference in the Bill to making good war damage would include demolition and clearance and my right hon. Friend said he would look into the matter. We think that probably such things would be included in the words originally in the Bill, but it is desirable that it should be made clear, and this Amendment does so.
§ Amendment agreed to
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
