§ Mr. BarnesI beg to move, in page 103, line 3, after "section," to insert:
or under any such provision of an order as is mentioned in subsection (3) of the last preceding section.This is consequential on the canal and port facilities Clause.
§ Mr. MaclayI think it reasonable to ask the Minister if he would explain briefly how this Amendment is consequential. I have been trying to follow the thing, and I cannot get it straight What is the effect of the various Amendments to which we have been agreeing, inserting the word "or order"? What is the real significance?
§ Mr. BarnesI can best explain that when I come to the new Clauses. These are necessary drafting Amendments to Clauses previous to the new Clause. These Amendments are consequential on the proposed new Clause, which I shall move later on. The hon. Member for Montrose Burghs (Mr. Maclay) knows that when we come to that stage certain methods are adopted for meeting. to a very large extent, the case in which he has been so interested in Committee. I feel that he should be fairly familiar with the ground, and I do not want to deal in detail with these consequential Amendment. I thought we agreed to deal with the matter fully when we come to the Clause.
§ Mr. C. WilliamsWhat the Minister is doing is perfectly in keeping with Government policy. These Amendments are consequential on something which has not yet been done.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
