Lords Amendment: In page 2, line 1, leave out "otherwise than under section thirty of" and insert:
for those years under any enactment passed before this Act other than
§ The Joint Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. J. Nixon Browne)I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This is a drafting Amendment. There was a similar Amendment to Clause I of the English Measure. Its purpose is to make it clear that the scope of the general grant is such that it is in lieu only of grants which, apart from the Bill, would be payable until 1959–60, and subsequent years under existing enactments. The Amendment makes it clear that after the Bill is passed future legislation can provide for specific grants even in relation to relevant expenditure.
§ Question put and agreed to.
