HC Deb 03 June 1957 vol 571 c980

7.15 p.m.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

I beg to move, in page 11, line 37, to leave out "undertake to pay, and".

This Amendment is consequential on an Amendment which was accepted in Committee, changing the word "may" to "shall". The local authority now has a statutory right to this payment and, accordingly, there is no need for my right hon. Friend in addition to give an undertaking.

Amendment agreed to.
