HC Deb 24 July 1950 vol 478 c149

The National Coal Board may make such payments as may be prescribed by way of reimbursement of the expenses incurred by any person for the purpose of securing the carrying out of their obligations by the Board.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

Mr. Mainwaring (Rhondda, East)

May I ask the Minister whether the new Clause is to apply to any applicant making a claim on the National Coal Board?

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

Yes, Sir. The Clause is permissive but, subject to that, it does.

Question put, and agreed to.

Remaining Lords Amendments agreed to [several with Special Entries].
