§ Lords Amendment: In page 24, line 21, leave out from "charge" to the end of line 26.
§ Mr. ShinwellI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
425 This is a Government Amendment which is designed to avoid any possible prejudice to the rights of debenture holders to compensation, where, for example, they have a fixed charge in a colliery concern's freehold and leasehold premises, as debenture trustees. As a result of the Amendment, the compensation would go to such persons designated in Clause 20 (1), whose duty it will be to see that the rights of debenture holders are safeguarded. This is only a tightening up Clause, to make certain that persons entitled to receive compensation, receive it.
§ Question put, and agreed to. [Special Entry.]
