HC Deb 29 July 1958 vol 592 c1157

Lords Amendment: In page 9, line 29, after "lease" insert: or order conferring working rights".

Sir I. Horobin

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

This Amendment is the first of a series dealing with a small point about the rights to work minerals under the Mines (Working Facilities and Support) Act, 1923. There are persons who have obtained these rights by court order. The Amendments provide that such a person shall be treated as if he were the mineral lessee.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 9, line 31, to leave out paragraph (d).

Sir I. Horobin

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

This is the first of another series of Amendments which leave out a number of references to timber which are survivals from an earlier draft. In due course I shall move Amendments to Clause 51 to assimilate these two easements and similar rights which make a neater way of dealing with this matter.

Question put and agreed to.
