§ Lords Amendment No. 1: In page 4, line 22, leave out "functions of the Commission" and insert "countryside".
§ The Minister of State, Scottish Office (Dr. J. Dickson Mabon)I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This drafting Amendment removes any doubt which there might be that the Secretary of State and other Ministers can call on the advice of the Commission on any countryside matter. I think that it will improve the Bill.
§ Question put and agreed to.
