§ Lords Amendment: In page 44, line 19, after "urban" insert "or rural".
§ Mr. D. PriceI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This is really a consequential Amendment. The House will recall that the Bill was amended in Committee to provide in Clause 34 for rural district councils to become weights and measures authorities in certain rather restricted circumstances. In consequence, it is necessary to include a reference to such councils in Clause 40 which deals with the expenses of weights and measures authorities and with compensation payable to their officers.
§ Question put and agreed to. [Special Entry.]
