HC Deb 15 October 1969 vol 788 cc473-4

Lords Amendment No. 61: In page 65, line 23, leave out "37 or 41(5)" and insert: (Transfers between England or Wales and Northern Ireland), 37 or 41(5) or paragraph 21 or 22 of Schedule 4".

Mr. Elystan Morgan

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

Mr. Speaker

I suggest that it would be convenient for the House to discuss, at the same time, Lords Amendments Nos. 62, 63 and 64.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

That would be convenient. The first three Amendments are technical, excepting from the general provision of Clause 66 that Orders shall be made by Statutory Instrument and be subject to the negative Resolution procedure, certain Orders in relation to which this provision would be inappropriate.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.

Lords Amendment No. 65: In page 65, line 39, leave out from "provision" to end of line 43.

6.45 p.m.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

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

If it is agreeable to the House, I suggest that we discuss with this Amendment Lords Amendment No. 71.

Mr. Speaker

If the House agrees, so be it.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

Amendment No. 71 enables an appointed day Order to contain such transitional provisions as appear appropriate, having regard to the chronological order in which the provisions of the Bill and the closely related provisions of the Social Work (Scotland) Act, 1968 are brought into force. Amendment No. 65 is consequential on that.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
