Mr. Skeffington

I beg to move Amendment No. 46, in page 21, line 4, leave out from 'and' to end of line 6 and insert: 'with the Greater London Council'. Mr. Speaker, would it be convenient to deal with Amendment No. 47 at the same time?

Mr. Speaker

If there is no objection, so be it.

Mr. Skeffington

On 26th March we had an interesting discussion in Committee about the position of the G.L.C. As a result of an undertaking I gave, the Opposition withdrew their Amendment which purported to give the powers contained in the Clause to the G.L.C. Amendment No. 46 now does that. Amendment No. 47 makes provision for the necessary consultations between the G.L.C. and the London boroughs and brings them into line with the arrangements for planning authorities outside the Greater London area.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: No. 47, in page 21, line 12, leave out 'London boroughs and county districts' and insert: 'and county districts, the Greater London Council and councils of London boroughs'.— [Mr. Skeffington.]
