HC Deb 22 November 1954 vol 533 c962

Lords Amendment: In page 26, line 9, after "powers" insert: not being statutory undertakers or the National Coal Board

The Lord Advocate

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

The purpose of this Amendment is to exclude statutory undertakers and the National Coal Board from the operation of subsection (2) of this clause, and to leave their position in the matter of compensation to be determined solely by the operation of subsection (4); that is, by provisions relating to the status of the land concerned.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to: In page 27, line 4, leave out from "shall" to end of line 6, and insert: be without prejudice to the operation of any regulations made under section (Provision for diversion of payments) of this Act" [Special Entry.]

In page 28, transpose Clause 20 to after Clause 27.
