HC Deb 03 June 1947 vol 438 c82
Sir S. Cripps

I beg to move, in page 7, line 36, at the end, to insert: (2) Before making an order imposing charges under this section the authority making the order shall satisfy themselves or himself that the incidence of the charges as between different classes of undertakings in the industry will be in accordance with a fair principle. This is really consequential upon the Amendment made in the earlier Clause, and applies to the case where levies can be raised without the intervention of a council. The same provision is made that they shall be judged by the authority making the order, the Minister or the Board as the case may be, and that they shall impose charges on different classes of undertakings in accordance with a fair principle.

Amendment agreed to.
