HC Deb 17 February 1947 vol 433 cc803-948

As amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.

Mr. Speaker

The first two Amendments on the Paper in the name of the hon. Member for West Fife (Mr. Gallacher)— in page 1, line 10, to leave out "or" and in page 1, line 10, after "town" to insert "or district"—can be considered together; and, of course, there is another Amendment, the last on the Order Paper, which is also allied to them—that in the name of the right hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for Scotland—in page 4, line 13, at the end, to add: (4) Where the Minister of Food is satisfied that the council of any county in Scotland are unreasonably refusing to exercise then powers under this Act in any district of the county he may by order transfer the powers of the county council so far as relating to that district to the district council, and there upon the district council shall become and the county council shall cease to be the civic restaurant authority for that district. which can be conveniently mentioned at the same time.
