§ Lords Amendment No. 17: In page 46, line 14, after "(a)" insert "by order".
§ Mr. StonehouseI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
§ Mr. SpeakerI call the attention of the House to the fact that Privilege is involved in all the Amendments from No. 17 to No. 35. I have suggested that 1657 we take all these Amendments, from No. 17 to No. 35, together.
§ Mr. StonehouseI agree, Mr. Speaker.
Members of the Standing Committee will remember that I gave an undertaking that there would be a discussion with the local authorities associations about the rating valuation for the Post Office network and railway. Discussions took place between officials, and the Amendments which were moved in another place are brought forward to honour the agreement that was reached with the associations. They provide for a general revaluation to meet the points that have been raised by the associations. They have been welcomed by the associations, and I commend them to the House.
§ Question put and agreed to—[Special entry.]
§ Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
