HC Deb 15 October 1969 vol 788 cc469-70

Lords Amendment No. 49: In page 49, line 10, leave out paragraph (b) and insert: (b) the Secretary of State may by order direct that for the purposes of any provision specified in the direction and made by or under any enactment relating to community homes (other than this section) the home shall, until the date or earlier date specified as mentioned in subsection (4)(b) of this section, be treated as an assisted community home or as a controlled community home, but except in so far as the Secretary of State so directs, the home shall until that date be treated for the purposes of any such enactment as a community home provided by the local authority;".

Mr. Elystan Morgan

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

This is a minor Amendment to enable a voluntary community home to continue to be treated as if within the home system after notice of withdrawal from that system has been given.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
