except enactments applicable to local authorities or composite companies otherwise than in their capacity as authorised undertakers.This is an Amendment to a Clause which adapts to the Boards enactments which previously referred to undertakings. This effects a small amendment in Subsection (3). It provides that local enactments shall be adapted, other than those which refer to composite companies or local authorities in their capacity otherwise than as a statutory electricity undertaking.
§ Mr. R. S. HudsonI am obliged to the hon. and learned Gentleman, but I am not sure that his description of this Amendment is absolutely accurate. I should have thought its object was to correct a mistake in Government drafting to which attention was called by the Opposition.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
