HC Deb 29 June 1951 vol 489 cc1804-5
Mr. Lindgren

I beg to move, in page 20, line 29, to leave out from "by," to "in," and to insert "the lessee."

This is an Amendment which should be considered along with the exactly similar Amendment to page 21, line 2, While they are to a degree consequential, their purpose is to enable the Lands Tribunal to vary any sums payable under a mining lease and not simply those payable by way of royalty or rent.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. Lindgren

I beg to move, in page 20, line 31, to leave out "are equal to," and insert "do not exceed."

The effect of this Amendment is that the Lands Tribunal has now power to increase the sums payable under a mining lease.

Amendment agreed to

Further Amendments made: In page 21, line 2, leave out from "by" to "in," in line 3, and insert "the lessee."

In line 6, after "the," insert "lease as modified by the."

In line 20, at end, insert: (5) An order under this section may, with the consent of the appropriate authority as defined by section eighty-seven of the principal Act, be made in respect of a mining lease comprising any minerals belonging to His Majesty in right of the Duchy of Lancaster, or to the Duchy of Cornwall, being minerals in respect of which arrangements under subsection (2) of section eighty-eight of that Act are in force.—[Mr. Lindgren.]
