HC Deb 25 July 1963 vol 681 c1861

Lords Amendment: In page 53, line 20, leave out "(2)".

Sir K. Joseph

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

Now we come back from education and go down to sewerage and trade effluents. This deals with one of the facets of the Greater London Council's responsibility to carry out a survey of the sewers and sewage disposal works. Our main concern is that a council may apply to the Greater London Council to take over a particular sewer or sewage disposed works and there is a procedure for deciding whether the application shall be granted. In view of the G.L.C's responsibility to survey the whole of the sewers and sewage disposal works so as to decide which are the main ones which shall vest in the Council, it seems that the particular survival of the current dispensation is no longer appropriate. Therefore, the Amendment eliminates it.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to. [Two with Special Entry.]
