HC Deb 03 June 1947 vol 438 cc81-2
Sir S. Cripps

I beg to move, in page 6, line 10, to leave out from "year," to "and," in line 11.

This Amendment goes with the one in my name to line 13. They are intended to cover the point in an Amendment to line 11 in the name of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Aldershot (Mr. Lyttelton). The object of these two Amendments is, first, that the statement of accounts shall be in a form approved by the Board or Minister, and also in a form which conforms with the best commercial standards; second, that the statement of accounts shall show the total remuneration and allowances paid during the year to members of the council. Those are two matters which, on the Committee stage, I understand, it was desired to have inserted, and we are quite prepared to insert them in the Bill.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 6, line 13, at the end, insert: (3) The statement of accounts shall be in such form as the Board or Minister concerned may direct, being a form which shall conform with the best commercial standards, and the statement shall show the total of remuneration and allowances paid during the year to members of the council."—(Sir S. cripps.)
