HC Deb 06 July 1961 vol 643 c1862
The Lord Advocate

I beg to move, in page 13, line 16, to leave out "to ten" and to insert "and eight."

I think that with this Amendment might be taken the Amendment in the Third Schedule, page 20, line 8, column 3.

These Amendments repeal two Sections of the Crown Lands (Scotland) Act, 1833, which are out of date and which are never taken advantage of.

Amendment agreed to.

The Solicitor-General

I beg to move in page 14, line 7, to leave out "alienable" and to insert "inalienable."

This corrects a misprint.

Amendment agreed to.

The Lord Advocate

I beg to move, in page 15, line 16, after "sections" to insert "four."

I think that with this Amendment might be taken the next two Amendments, in lines 19 and 24.

These are really drafting Amendments dealing with technical points of Scottish conveyancing which, at this hour of the evening, not even the hon. and learned Member for Kettering (Mr. Mitchison) is very interested in.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 15, line 19, after "operations" insert "or effect."

In line 24, at end insert: and notwithstanding the repeal by this Act of section five of the Crown Lands Act, 1873, shall continue to be registrable in the Books of Council and Session as before the passing of this Act."—[The Lord Advocate.]

Schedule, as amended, agreed to.
