HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 c1864
Mr. Younger

I beg to move, in page 14, line 18, to leave out from the beginning to "a," in line 19.

This Amendment must be read in connection with the next Amendment on the Paper, to line 30. Both relate to the Secretary of State's power to make regulations as to the conduct of hostels. My right hon. Friend undertook in Committee to remove the Secretary of State's power to make regulations on this subject. This is a matter upon which local authorities feel very strongly, and I hope they will be satisfied with these Amendments.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 14, line 30, leave out Subsection (3).—[Mr. Younger.]
