§ Amendment made: In page 43, line 15, leave out "40" and insert "41."—[Mr. Corfield.]
§ Mr. CorfieldI beg to move, in page 43, line 17, after "licences," insert:
in pursuance of such applications.This is virtually a drafting Amendment. Clause 42(2) applies Clauses 28, 29, and 38 to 41 to applications for revocation and variation of licences. The Amendment makes clear that this provision applies to applications for variation made by licence holders and not to proposals for variation initiated by river authorities.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Mr. CorfieldI beg to move, in page 43, line 18, at the end to insert:
Provided that, where the proposed variation is limited to reducing the quantity of water authorised to be abstracted in pursuance of the licence during one or more periods, sections 28 and 39(4) of this Act shall not apply.This is a very small Amendment of substance. The object of it is to say 845 that where there is a proposal for revocation or variation of a licence the result of which can only be to reduce the amount, it is not considered necessary for the applicant for the revocation or variation to do the advertising he would normally do as an applicant for a licence otherwise incorporated in the subsection.
§ Amendment agreed to.
