Commander Galbraith

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

It may be convenient if we also deal with the Lords Amendments on page 51, line 19, and page 51, line 33. These Amendments have the effect of excluding revocation and modification orders from the Secretary of State's power to review decisions in respect of which compensation is claimed. He will already have fully considered all the circumstances before he made those orders.

Question put, and agreed to. [Special Entry.]

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to: In page 19, leave out from "relates" to end of line 21 and insert: In this subsection, the reference to a decision more favourable to the applicant shall be construed—

  1. (a) in relation to a refusal of permission, as a reference to a decision granting the permission, either unconditionally or subject to conditions, and either as respects the whole or as respects part of the land to which the application for permission related; and
  2. (b) in relation to a grant of permission subject to conditions, as a reference to a decision granting the permission applied for unconditionally or subject to less stringent conditions.
In line 33, leave out subsection (5).
