§
Lords Amendment No. 1: In page 4, line 36, at end insert:
in any manner specified in the directions, whether or not the application of those sums in that manner is authorised by the relevant provision or instrument.
§ 11.16 p.m.
§ The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Mr. James Hoy)I beg to 1330 move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This Amendment is necessary because, without it, there would be a doubt regarding the transfer of money between the White Fish Industry Fund and the Herring Fishery Fund. It might be arranged, for example, that the White Fish Authority should collect the levy paid on a product which contained both white fish and herring. The White Fish Authority could then be directed to transfer sums to the Herring Industry Board; and some doubt about that might exist if the Amendment were not made.
§ Question put and agreed to.
