Lords Amendment: In page 15, line 41, leave out from "and" to end of line 14, page 16, and insert: in this section—

  1. (a) the said practice by reference to which such a determination is to be made as to any transferred interest is referred to as ' the wages ascertainments practice';
  2. (b) the expression ' activities relevant to district wages ascertainments ' means activities treated as comprised in the coal industry under the wages ascertainments practice.
(6) Notwithstanding that, in general, determinations under subsection (4) of this section are to be made as aforesaid by reference to the wages ascertainments practice, the subsequent provisions of this section shall apply in the cases therein mentioned. (7) The fact that figures relating to a particular activity have been brought into computation under the wages ascertainments practice shall not trender it an activity relevant to district wages ascertainments under this section where the figures in question constituted an item known under the wages ascertainments practice as a fair transfer price or similar charge and the activity in question was one treated under that practice as excluded from the coal industry. (8) Whatever the wages ascertainments practice has been.

Mr. Shinwell

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

This Amendment is of some length. It was regarded as complicated in wording, and it has been altered accordingly.
