§ Mr. MarshI beg to move Amendment No. 4, in page 4, line 23, at end insert:
'; and section 2(2) of this Act shall have effect for the purposes of this section as if for the reference to section 1 of this Act there were substituted a reference to this section '.This is a less controversial Amendment. Its effect is to ensure that the Minister shall have power to provide for the payment of compensation by regulations to local authority staff adversely affected by an order made under Clause 3 in the same way as at present he has power under Clause 2(2) to do in a case attributable to the making of an order under Clause 1—Transfer of functions to the Minister. I do not think there will be any criticism about this. This merely gives the Minister power to pay compensation.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Further Amendments made: No. 5, in page 4, line 33, leave out subsection (5).
§ No. 6, in line 40, leave out ' sections 5 and 10 ' and insert ' section 5 '.—[Mr. Marsh.]
