HC Deb 29 July 1958 vol 592 cc1199-200

Lords Amendment: In page 72, line 3, at end 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 and the next Amendment are, again, two of the series of Amendments dealing with the rights to work minerals.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to: In line 6, after "lease" insert "or order".

Lords Amendment: In page 72, line 17, after "using" insert "treating, converting"

Sir I. Horrobin

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

This Amendment fulfils an undertaking on a small point. We desire to make sure that the definition of rights and facilities in paragraph 1 (3) of the Fifth Schedule covers the processing of minerals.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 75, line 25, at end insert: (5) The preceding provisions of this paragraph shall have effect in relation to an order conferring working rights as they have effect in relation to a mining lease.

Sir I. Horobin

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

This is another of the Amendments dealing with the rights to work minerals.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 77, line 37, leave out sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) and insert: (4) If the entirety of the holding consists of land to which this Schedule applies, no compensation under section twenty-three of this Act shall be payable in respect of the holding. (5) If only part of the holding consists of land to which this Schedule applies,—

  1. (a) section twenty-three of this Act shall have effect in relation to the holding, but
  2. (b) subsections (2) and (4) of that section shall apply as if that land did not form part of the holding, and any reference in that section to values computed in accordance with any of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of subsection (2) thereof shall be construed accordingly."

Sir I. Horobin

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

This is a technical Amendment designed to eliminate a double payment. It deals with a person, other than a mineral operator, who is receiving compensation under the special Fifth Schedule provisions, and we have to make certain that he does not also obtain terminal compensation under the general provisions of the Bill which apply.

Question put and agreed to.
