Major Lloyd GeorgeI beg to move, in page 15, line 33, to leave out paragraph 3, and to insert:
3. Unless the referee otherwise directs, not more than one expert witness shall be called, either by the Regional Valuation Board or by the person or persons claiming the review, to give evidence on the review, whether as to the value of the holding or otherwise; and accordingly sub-paragraph (3) of the said paragraph 12 shall have effect as if the words 'as to the value of the holding were omitted.'I can very briefly explain this Amendment to the Committee. There is some doubt as to what the original Act laid down in this matter, and this Amendment makes it perfectly clear that witnesses as to fact can be called without leave and only one expert can be called without leave. That makes it perfectly clear.
