HC Deb 19 October 1954 vol 531 cc1119-20
Commander Galbraith

I beg to move, in page 18, line 4, to leave out from "requiring," to "and," in line 7, and to insert: the Board, in a case where the determination of such an application involves an apportionment, to give notice of the proposed apportionment to any person entitled to an interest in land which it appears to the Board will be substantially affected by the apportionment.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker (Sir Rhys Hopkin Morris)

It may be for the convenience of the House if, together with this Amendment, we take the Amendments in page 18, line 22, in page 34, line 14, in page 34, line 29, and in page 45, line 44.

Commander Galbraith

They are all connected with the same point, Mr. Deputy-Speaker. They are all drafting Amendments, which seek to give a more precise description of the persons entitled to an interest in the land affected.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 18, line 22, leave out "his interests are," and insert: he is entitled to an interest in land which is."—[Commander Galbraith.]

The Lord Advocate

I beg to move, in page 18, line 36 to leave out: to which this subsection applies.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

It may be for the convenience of the House if we take, together with this Amendment, the Amendment in page 18, line 42, the Amendment in page 34, line 43, the Amendment in page 35, line 4, and the Amendment in page 73, line 23:

7.45 p.m.

The Lord Advocate

These Amendments are little more than drafting Amendments, designed to shorten and simplify the Bill. The phrase "previous apportionment" is used and defined in the same sense as in Clauses 14 and 31, and also in the new Clause: Provision of information as to unexpended balance, &c. The simplest arrangement from a drafting point of view is to delete the definitions in Clauses 14 and 31 and to define the term once and for all in the interpretation Clause—Clause 72.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 18, line 42, leave out subsection (5).—[The Lord Advocate.]
