HC Deb 25 July 1963 vol 681 c1928

Lords Amendment: In page 96, line 18, after "district" insert "or any part thereof".

Mr. Corfield

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

I think that the House might conveniently deal at the same time with the next 11 Amendments.

This group of Amendments takes account of the fact that for the two purposes—main drainage, on the one hand, and land drainage, on the other—the G.L.C. will be responsible for areas which are not co-terminous with Greater London and which stretch out into the adjacent county districts. In some cases, for instance in connection with sewage, there are existing local Acts affecting the administration of these services. The purpose of the Amendments is merely to ensure that these local enactments can be reviewed and, if necessary, amended under Clause 84, notwithstanding that they are applied in areas extending beyond Greater London.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
