HC Deb 17 July 1968 vol 768 c1609

Lords Amendment No. 14: In page 32, line 26, leave out "pumps" and insert: pumping stations, storm water overflow pipes, outfall pipes".

Mr. Buchan

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

It might be convenient to take, at the same time, Lords Amendment No. 15, in page 32, line 30, leave out "and outfall pipes".

Mr. Deputy Speaker

So be it.

Mr. Buchan

The second Amendment is consequential. Subsection (2) lists certain installations which may be necessary to the operation of a drain, sewer or sewage treatment works. The two Amendments are necessary for clarification purposes. The first substitutes the words "pumping stations", and so on, because the word "pumps" may not adequately describe the whole pumping installation. The same consideration applies to the other Amendment.

Question put and agreed to.

Remaining Lords Amendment agreed to.
