HC Deb 07 July 1947 vol 439 cc1995-2001

Amendment made: In page 131, line 24, column 2, leave out first "any,? and insert "the."—[Mr. Westwood.]

Mr. Buchanan

I beg to move, in page 131, line 26, column 2, at the end, to insert: and for the words 'their consent in writing to the licensing authority,' there shall be substituted the words 'the licensing authority, that any planning permission required as aforesaid has been so granted or is deemed to be so granted.' Under Section 9 of the Betting and Lotteries Act, 1934, a licence is required for racing tracks for the duration of seven years. Under Sections 6 and 7 of the Act licences shall not be granted unless the planning authorities have consented to the establishment or continuation of the track. The effect of this Amendment and the subsequent one is to make the grant of a licence under Section 7 of the Betting and Lotteries Act, 1934, conditional on planning permission having been given for that period of the duration of the licence.

Mr. Speaker

All the Amendments put down by the right hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State to Schedule Eight have been covered in the Schedules we have already passed and I suggest that it would be for the convenience of the House if I were to put the whole of the Amendments to Schedule Eight en bloc.

Mr. Buchanan

I was rather in fear of doing that myself because I might be accused of doing something smart.

Mr. Speaker

The blame if any is mine.

Amendment agreed to.
