HC Deb 25 June 1947 vol 439 cc575-6
The Solicitor-General

I beg to move, in page 67, line 44, to leave out from "the," to the end of line 47, and to insert: bodies specified in the Schedule (Authorised undertakers to whom Part II of Act applies) to this Act, and any reference in this Act to the capacity of a local authority as authorised undertakers shall be construed as a reference to their capacity as a body authorised by any enactment to supply electricity in an area of supply. This effects a slight alteration in respect of various undertakers rendered necessary by the new Clause on the Order Paper and of bodies to which Part II of the Act applies.

Amendment agreed to.
