HC Deb 21 October 1968 vol 770 c1047

Lords Amendment No. 251: In page 262, line 2, leave out "49(5)".

Mr. Swingler

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

Mr. Peter Walker

As this is the last Amendment with which we agree I would like to say how typical it is that their Lordships should have to point out another example of thoroughly bad drafting. By this Amendment, we are preventing the Secretary of State for Scotland from acquiring land in Ulster. I am sure that this is an important Amendment, and certainly we are glad that the Government have accepted it.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
