HC Deb 28 October 1949 vol 468 cc1728-9
The Joint Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. J. J. Robertson)

I beg to move, in page 49, line 43, to leave out "the prescribed officer," and to insert: such officer as may be prescribed by the Court of Session by Act of Sederunt. This is little more than a drafting Amendment. Its purpose is to bring the Bill into conformity with the existing law in Scotland.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Remaining Clauses ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Schedules agreed to.

Bill reported, with an Amendment; read the Third time, and passed, with an Amendment.
