HC Deb 01 July 1954 vol 529 c1608

Amendment made: In page 58, line 20, after "fulfilment," insert: in relation to the quarry."—[Mr. Joynson-Hicks.]

Mr. Joynson-Hicks

I beg to move, in page 58, line 36, to leave out "as soon as practicable." and to insert "forthwith."

This Amendment is one of many to which we are now coming which bring the provisions with regard to quarries into line with those relating to mines in the matter of drafting so as to make the farms of phraseology consistent and comparable. The effect of the provision is to require that the person who gives instructions on behalf of the owner shall notify the manager forthwith rather than "as soon as practicable."

Amendment agreed to.
