Amendment made: No. 54, in page 26, line 9, after "section", insert:
and section (Revocation of licence on failure to comply with welfare amenity scheme) of this Act".—[Mrs. Shirley Williams.]
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsI beg to move, Amendment No. 25, in line 12, to leave out "£60" and to insert "£200".
This Amendment merely increases the maximum penalty which can be applied in the case of failure to comply with welfare and amenity schemes. It increases it from £60 to £200 and meets a point raised in Committee by a number of hon. Members. It was considered that this maximum would be more appropriate. I stress that it is the maximum figure. It will be our object, as soon as possible, to increase the maximum penalty for comparable offences under the Factories Act to the same sum to bring them both into line.
§ Amendment agreed to.
