§ (2) Where, under the powers of any Bill it is proposed to supply with water any area not 1698 previously included within the Promoters' limits of supply, the Promoters shall similarly deposit an Ordnance map on the scale of one inch to a mile showing respectively the existing limits of supply and the area proposed to be added thereto."
§ The Amendments in Schedule (A) are largely consequential on recent legislation or changes in departmental responsibility. The repeal in Schedule (B) is an Order that has not been enforced for a number of years and is obsolete. The new Standing Order in Schedule (C) brings our own practice into line with that of another place.
