CHARGES THAT MAY BE MADE FOR SERVICES AND ACCOMMODATION

HC Deb 17 July 1968 vol 768 cc1553-4

Mr. Millan

I beg to move Amendment No. 89, in page 52, line 27, leave out: 'of the said Act of 1948'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this Amendment the House can discuss Amendment No. 90.

Mr. Millan

The purpose of these Amendments is to apply the provisions of Sections 42 to 44 of the National Assistance Act, 1948, in relation to charges for accommodation made under the Clause. Subsection (3) provides that as a general rule accommodation provided under the Bill is to be regarded as accommodation under Part III of the National Assistance Act, 1948, and lists certain provisions of the 1943 Act which are to apply accordingly. As accommodation provided under the Bill is to be regarded as Part III accommodation, it is necessary to add Sections 42 to 44 to the other 1948 Act provisions which are already listed in subsection (3).

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: No. 90, in page 52, line 30, after 'organisations)', insert: 'and sections 42 to 44 of the said Act of 1948 (which make provision for the mutual maintenance of wives and husbands and the maintenance of their children by recovery of assistance from persons liable for maintenance and for affiliation orders, etc.)'.—[Mr. Millan.]
