HC Deb 21 January 1959 vol 598 c295
The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Mr. J. B. Godber)

I beg to move, in page 4, line 9 to leave out from "for" to "any" and to insert "enabling".

It may be convenient also to take the next Amendment, in line 12, at end insert: to be modified from time to time on the application of the person for the time being carrying on the business to which the programme relates". These Amendments are designed to deal with a specific point which the right hon. Member for Don Valley (Mr. T. Williams) raised in Committee, when he asked whether I would make it quite clear that a programme was to be modified only at the request of a farmer himself. That is a valid point and I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for raising it. We have sought entirely to meet the case he put forward and I do not propose to detain the House further.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made:In page 4, line 12, at end insert: to be modified from time to time on the application of the person for the time being carrying on the business to which the programme relates".
