HC Deb 26 June 1941 vol 372 c1115

Report presented by the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Chairman of Committees of the House of Lords and the Chairman of Ways and Means in the House of Commons under Sub-section (4) of Section 1 of the Act, That they have taken into consideration a representation which has been made to the Secretary of State by the London Midland and Scottish Railway Company, that they desire to obtain Parliamentary powers to amend their Superannuation Scheme, as specified in a Schedule to the Report, to be operative in Scotland and elsewhere, and that it is expedient that such powers should be conferred by one enactment by reason of the fact that in relation to such matters it is necessary to provide for the uniform regulation of the affairs of the Company whose undertaking is operative in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and have decided that the said powers would more properly be obtained by the promotion of a Private Bill than by the promotion of a Private Bill and of a Provisional Order under the Private Legislation Procedure (Scotland) Act, 1936 [by Act]; to lie upon the Table.
