HC Deb 12 July 1967 vol 750 c773

Her Majesty may by Order in Council direct that this Act shall extend to the Isle of Man or any of the Channel Islands, with such exceptions, adaptations and modifications as may be specified in the Order.

(2) Any Order in Council under this section may be varied or revoked by a subsequent Order of Her Majesty in Council.—[Mr. Marsh.]

Brought up, and read the First time.

Mr. Marsh

I beg to move, That the Clause be read a Second time.

This is not a controversial new Clause, I hope. The Long Title of the Bill relates solely to the supply, acquisition and consumption of liquid fuel in the United Kingdom. Liquid fuel for use in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands reaches them through the United Kingdom, and, after consultation with the authorities of the islands, it seems preferable that the Bill should be extensible to the islands by Order in Council, and that is really all the new Clause provides.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause read a Second time, and added to the Bill.
