HC Deb 13 February 1956 vol 548 c2102
The Solicitor-General for Scotland (Mr. William Grant)

I beg to move, in page 11, line 10, at the end to insert: (4) The Sixth Schedule to the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1947 (which specifies enactments for the purposes of which money may be borrowed by local authorities repayable within periods other than thirty years), shall have effect as though there were added in the first column thereof a reference to this section except so much thereof as relates to dwelling houses and other housing accommodation and in the second column thereof, opposite that reference, the words "Such period not exceeding sixty years as the Secretary of State may fix. It might be convenient, if it is in order, Sir Charles, that I should also mention the following Amendments on the Order Paper, and the new Clauses, because the same considerations apply to all of them. All these Amendments are designed to reinstate in the Bill those parts which formerly were removed in another place for Privilege reasons. The passages concerned are underlined and printed in square brackets in the printed Bill. All are formal.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
