Lords Amendment No. 4: In page 19, line 24, at end insert:
( ) all estates and interests in land in the Channel Islands which, immediately before that day, are vested in Her Majesty, being estates and interests in land then occupied or used, in whole or in part, by the Postmaster General or (for, or in connection with, the exercise and performance of any of the Postmaster General's functions) by an officer or servant of the Crown;".
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This Amendment is to ensure that interests in land in the Channel Islands held by the Crown for the purposes of the Postmaster-General's functions will vest in the Post Office. I can say that the Amendment is acceptable to the States.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Lords Amendment No. 5: In page 21, line 8, leave out "the next but one following section" and insert "section 18 of this Act".
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
The hon. Members for Yeovil (Mr. Peyton) and for Belfast, North (Mr. Stratton Mills) suggested on Report that Clause 16(2)(j) would be clearer if it were altered along these lines and my right hon. Friend agreed to look at it again. The Opposition, in another place, moved this Amendment which was accepted by the Government.
