§
Lords Amendment: In page 18, line 21, at end insert:
(4) Where any restrictions accepted under a term implied by virtue of subsection (7) of section six of this Act in an agreement for the constitution of a trade association are found by the Court to be contrary to the public interest, the Court may, without prejudice to its powers under the last foregoing subsection, make such order as appears to the Court to be proper for restraining the association or any person acting on its behalf from making any recommendation to which that term would apply.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithI beg to move, That this House both agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
The House has already considered Lords Amendments to Clauses 6 and 9 dealing with recommendations made by trade associations, and this Lords Amendment is consequential thereto. Its effect is to extend the jurisdiction of the Restrictive Practices Court to cover the recommendations described in Clause 6 (7). That is to say, if the Court has found that the making of the recommendations by a trade association is against the public interest, the Court by this subsection will have power to make an order restraining the trade association from making any further recommendations dealing with the same matters.
§ Question put and ageed to.
§ Further Lords Amendment agreed to: In page 18, line 27, leave out "subsection (2)" and insert "subsection (3) or subsection (4)".
