HC Deb 16 July 1948 vol 453 cc1635-6

Lords Amendment: In page 3, line 24, leave out from beginning to second "the" in line 25 and insert: On any change occurring in the circumstances particulars of which are stated in a certificate issued under this section.

Mr. J. Edwards

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

Subsection (2) provides: Where … requirements are imposed, varied or revoked after the certificate has been issued, the local health authority shall issue an amended certificate. It does not provide, as it should, for an amended certificate when a minder changes his address. This is necessary as the registration of the minder is personal. The Amendment rectifies this omission by providing that an amended certificate shall be issued whenever a change occurs in the particulars stated in the certificate which, in the case of the minder, includes his address.

Question put, and agreed to.
