HC Deb 23 July 1958 vol 592 cc493-4

Lords Amendment agreed to: In page 22, line 7, after "provided" insert "for".

Lords Amendment: In line 9, at end insert: (d) in paragraph (7) the words 'in addition to any sums voted by Parliament for the training of teachers' shall be omitted;

Mr. N. Macpherson

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

The purpose of the Amendment is to repeal words in subsection (7) of Section 70 of the Education (Scotland) Act, 1946, which are no longer necessary in view of Amendments to the Section already provided for.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In line 31, at end insert: (7) In section one hundred and forty-three, in subsection (1), for the definition of "code" there shall be substituted the following definition, that is to say— '"code" means regulations made under subsection (8) of section one of this Act'.

Mr. N. Macpherson

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

The purpose of the Amendment is to redefine the meaning of the expression "code" in the Education (Scotland) Act, 1946. The meaning assigned to "code" in Section 143 (1) of the 1946 Act is a code included in regulations under section seventy-one of this Act". In future, the Regulations, which are known as codes, will depend upon the powers conferred upon the Secretary of State by subsection (8) written into Section 1 of the 1946 Act by paragraph 6 (1) of the Fourth Schedule and by Clause 3 (2) in respect of the power conferred by Section 71 (1).

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 24, line 8, at end insert: and subsection (8) shall cease to have effect.

Mr. N. Macpherson

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

This deals with a provision referring to the Education (Scotland) Fund, and its abolition makes these words no longer necessary.

Question put and agreed to.

Further Lords Amendments agreed to: In page 26, line 25, leave out "(d)" and insert "(e)".

In line 26, leave out "(7) and (8)" and insert "(8) and (9)".
