§ Mr. YoungerI beg to move, in page 38, line 27, to leave out "councils of counties and county boroughs," and to insert "local authorities."
This is little more than a drafting Amendment. There are similar Amendments which come later on the Order Paper. The purpose is to make clearer what are the local authorities. Clause 38 states what local authorities are referred to throughout the Bill. The Amendment is necessary to bring this paragraph in accord with the rest of the Bill, and to enable the Exchequer grant to be paid on expenses incurred by the local authority in the payment of compensation authorised by the regulations.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
