§ Mr. BuchananI beg to move, in page no, line 43, after "class," to insert:" specified in the Third Schedule to this Act."
This is a drafting Amendment. The provisions in the Bill will now say that planning permission will be granted for the development of any class specified in the Third Schedule.
§ Amendment agreed to.
1984§ Mr. BuchananI beg to move, in page no, line 46, at the end, to insert:
(2) For the purposes of paragraph 2 of the said Third Schedule, the erection on land within the curtilage of any such building as is mentioned in that paragraph of an additional building to be used in connection with the original building shall be treated as the enlargement of the original building; and where on the appointed day any two or more buildings comprised in the same curtilage are used as one unit for the purposes of any institution or undertaking, the reference in the said paragraph 2 to the cubic content of the original building shall be construed as a reference to the aggregate cubic content of those buildings.This Amendment is for the purpose of clarifying paragraph 2 of the Third Schedule.
§ Mr. J. S. C. ReidI do not wish to detain the House, but I must say that 1 wish the Government would not use this word "curtilage." It is not good Scots law. I know that there are occasions when it was slipped in by mistake, but I hope the Government will find some word which is better English—[HON. MEMBERS: "Better Scottish."]—No, "curtilage" is a word of English law, but not, I think, good English.
§ Mr. BuchananI am always glad to learn anything about the law, and especially from the quarter from which it now comes, and my respect for the knowledge of the right hon. and learned Gentleman is such that I will try not to use the word in future.
§ Colonel Gomme-DuncanWhat does it really mean?
§ Amendment agreed to.
