(b) in relation to controlled waters within the meaning of section 8 of this Act as they apply in relation to a stream.—[Dr. Dickson Mabond.]
§ Dr. Dickson MabonI beg to move Amendment No. 10, in page 13, line 19, at the end to insert:
(e) section 25—byelaws(f) section 26—supplementary provisions with regard to byelaws.This Amendment rectifies an omission and will empower river purification authorities to apply to the Secretary of State for confirmation of byelaws, as authorised by Sections 25 and 26 of the 1951 Act, applying to streams and to the controlled waters to which the Bill refers.Byelaws can be made prohibiting the putting of litter or other objectionable matter into streams, and so on. Clause 13(3) refers to the making of byelaws under Section 25(1, c) of the 1951 Act in respect of the ordinary use of sanitary appliances for the purpose of sanitation on vessels in tidal waters. The Amendment seeks to rectify the omission in the Bill, which we clearly intended in Committee.
§ Amendment agreed to.
