§ Mr. GreenwoodI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This Amendment is designed to eliminate a duplication between subsections (1)(b) and (1)(d) of Clause 13 and potential confusion as to the purposes of paragraphs (b) and (d) because they repeat, to some extent, the same provision, except that subparagraph (d) relates to the giving of notices to persons who have objected to the plan and notified the authority of their wish to receive notification of the approval, adoption or alteration of a plan.
The effect of the Amendment is to sharpen the distinction between paragraphs (b) and (d).

( ) require a local planning authority, in such cases as may be prescribed or in such particular cases as the Minister may direct, to provide persons making a request in that behalf with copies of any plan or document which has been made public for the purpose mentioned in section 3(1)(a) or 7(1)(a) of this Act or has been made available for inspection under section 3(2) or 7(2) of this Act, subject (if the regulations so provide) to the payment of a reasonable charge therefor.
§ Mr. GreenwoodI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
1413 This Amendment was moved by the Government in another place following pressure from the Opposition, who wanted a provision which would have required a local planning authority, in making available its structure plan for inspection as required by Clause 3(2), and local plans as required by Clause 7(2), also to make them available for purchase.
The effect of the Amendment is to enable the Minister in his regulations to require a planning authority to sell on request copies of any plan or document which had been made public for the purpose of Clause 3(1)(a) or 7(1)(a) or which had been deposited for formal inspection under Clause 3(2) or Clause 7(2).
§ Mr. Walter Clegg (North Fylde)I welcome the Amendment. It will be of tremendous assistance to planners, architects, surveyors and all those who have anything to do with planning. It is a great step forward and will enable them to work quickly and accurately.
