HC Deb 25 May 1949 vol 465 cc1331-2
Lords Amendment

In page 11, line 18, at beginning insert "Sections one to four of."

The Attorney-General

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

It would perhaps be for the convenience of the House if we took, with this Amendment, the two subsequent Amendments in lines 21 and 23. These three Amendments are drafting. Their joint effect is to secure that the provisions of Clause 3, which enable points of law to be taken right up to the House of Lords if need be, and the provisions of Clause 5, regarding procedure on the withdrawal of notices to treat, shall come into operation immediately the Royal Assent is given. Hon. Members will recall that the Lands Tribunal themselves may not be set up at once, but there seems to be no reason why these provisions should await the establishment of the Tribunal.

Question put, and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 15, line 60, at end, add:

Remaining Lords Amendments agreed to. [One with Special Entry.]

Committee appointed to draw up a Reason to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to one of their Amendments to the Bill: —Mr. Glenvil Hall, Mr. Manningham-Buller, Mr. W. S. Morrison, Mr. Proctor and Mr. Harry Wallace: —Three to be the Quorum—[The Attorney-General.]

To withdraw immediately.

Reason for disagreeing to one of the Lords Amendments reported, and agreed to.

To be communicated to the Lords.
