HC Deb 25 October 1949 vol 468 cc1197-8
Mr. Blenkinsop

I beg to move, in page 42, line 17, to leave out from "The," to "shall," in line 19, and to insert: following authorities, that is to say—

  1. (a) the council of every borough in England or Wales having functions under this Act,
  2. (b) every coast protection board, and
  3. (c) every joint committee appointed under subsection (1) of section three of this Act, not being a committee in whose case all the appointing authorities are authorities in Scotland."
This Amendment, the next one on the Order Paper in page 42, line 20, and that to leave out Clause 43 are "tidying-up" Amendments. Amendments were put down in Committee at a rather late stage, and the effect of the last Amendment is to make the accounts of the joint committee subject to district audit in the same way as are the accounts of the coast protection authorities.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In line 20, leave out "such functions," and insert: functions under this Act."—[Mr. Blenkinsop.]
