§ Question proposed, That the Clause stand part of the Bill.
§ 5.45 p.m.
§ The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Maurice Macmillan)I should say a few words about Clause 4, which applies the four-year limit to claims in respect of war damaged churches and other properties held for charitable purposes. I assure the Committee that there will be no difficulty in implementing the Clause. Certainly the Churches Main Committee, which in this matter represents virtually all the main religious bodies in the country, has not raised any difficulty. Consultations are proceeding and arrangements will be made to bring the provisions of the Clause, including the time limit, to the attention of individuals concerned and to ensure that proper practices are known and understood.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Clause ordered to stand part of the Bill.
§ Clauses 5 to 7 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
