HC Deb 09 April 1968 vol 762 cc1310-1

Amendment made: No. 79, in page 38, line 7, at end insert: (4) The provisions of this Act amending or repealing any provision of the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1957 extended to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Mr. Skeffington

I beg to move Amendment No. 80, in page 38, line 8, leave out from 'except' to as ' in line 9 and insert: 'subsections (1), (3) and (4) of this section, sections 11, 19, 20, section (Tree preservation orders: compensation), sections 25, 30 and 36(3), and so much of sections 36(1), 38 and 39'. The Amendment brings up to date the list of provisions which apply to Scotland. The changes are a consequence of matters we have dealt with, such as the Government's new Clause concerning the revised basis of compensation for tree preservation orders, the application to Scotland of the House of Commons disqualification provision, and the insertion of Clause 30, requiring that there shall be due regard to the needs of agriculture and forestry and the economic and social interest of rural areas.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: No. 81, in page 38, line 10, after 'and', and insert 'subject' to subsection (4) above'.
