HC Deb 28 June 1967 vol 749 cc534-5
Mr. MacDermot

I beg to move Amendment No. 35, in page 46, line 5, at the end to insert: 'and in relation to a resolution to which this subsection applies, the references in subsection (2) above and in proviso (b) to the said section 1(1) to the variation of the tax by a Bill or an Act shall be construed as references to its repeal or abolition by, as the case may require, a Bill or an Act'. This is little more than a drafting Amendment. It makes clear that in the case of the application of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act, 1913, to a Resolution abolishing or repealing taxes as opposed to one varying or renewing taxes, the condition in Clause 41(2) requiring Second Reading of a Bill within 25 days is to be read with reference to a Bill abolishing or repealing a tax.

Amendment agreed to.
