HC Deb 19 October 1954 vol 531 cc1149-50
Commander Galbraith

I beg to move, in page 34, line 14, to leave out from "and," to "substantially," in line 19, and to insert: if his determination includes an apportionment, to give particulars of the apportionment to any other person entitled to an interest in land which it appears to the Secretary of State is.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker (Sir Charles MacAndrew)

I think that this Amendment goes with the Amendment to be proposed to page 34, line 29, to leave out "his interests are," and to insert: he is entitled to an interest in land which is.

Commander Galbraith

Yes, Mr. Deputy-Speaker. The Amendment I am moving is similar to the Amendment we have already made in page 18, line 4, to Clause 14. This Amendment, and the related one to which you have referred, are drafting Amendments parallel to those to Clause 14 and others with which we have already dealt.

Amendment agreed to.

Commander Galbraith

I beg to move, in page 34, line 27, to leave out "the claimant or."

This is a drafting Amendment purely. It reduces procedure. The claim holder gets notice of determination, which includes the apportionment, and which he can dispute. This is merely a duplication of something he has already got, and it is, therefore, of no moment here and should be removed from the Clause.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 34, line 29, leave out "his interests are," and insert: he is entitled to an interest in land which is."—[Commander Galbraith.]

In line 43, leave out "to which this subsection applies."—[The Lord Advocate.]

Amendment proposed: In page 35, line 4, leave out subsection (4).—[The Lord Advocate.]

Mr. Hoy

Can we have an assurance that this Amendment is no more than a drafting Amendment?

The Lord Advocate

It is one of a group with which we previously dealt, and the argument for which, already presented, covers this Amendment among the other ones.

Amendment agreed to.
