§ Lords Amendment: In page 2, line 7, leave out "section" and insert "Part of this Act."
§ Mr. YoungerI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
This Amendment slightly alters the definition of a new town for the purposes of Clause 1. It is necessary to make it clear that the definition applies to the other Clauses in Part 1 only so long as 2379 a development corporation is in existence. Clause 1 is not affected whether one is in existence or not. A new town will be a State management area for the purposes of Clause 1.
§ Question put, and agreed to. [Special Entry.]
§ Lords Amendment: In page 2, line 10, leave out "commencement" and insert "passing."
§ Mr. YoungerI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
This Amendment, and the Amendment to line 30, are similar. They are only drafting but, since the Bill was drafted originally, new provisions have been put in making the commencement of different parts of the Act at different times. Therefore, it is more appropriate that in this connection the passing of the Act rather than the commencement, which varies from one part of the Act to another, should be the revelant phrase.
§ Lords Amendment: In line 33, leave out "county and county district council" and insert "local authority."
§ Mr. YoungerI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
There are four Amendments in a row which deal with substantially the same point, namely, the definition of local authority, in line 33, line 42, line 45 on page 3, and on page 4 the Amendment to leave out lines 7 to 9, and to insert the words on the Order Paper.
Since this Bill was first introduced, one of the subsections has been made to apply to existing State management districts. That includes Carlisle, which includes a county borough. Whereas the phrase "county and county district council" was originally sufficient, it is no longer so, and the purpose of this Amendment is to use the words "local authority" in each case and then to define "local authority" as including a county borough. This is done in the third of these Amendments in line 45 on page 3.
