§ AMENDMENTS AS TO GRANTS IN CONNECTION WITH ALTERATIONS OF FARM STRUCTURE
§
Lords Amendment: No. 3, in page 31, line 20, at end insert:
and in section 35(f) (under which a scheme may contain such incidental and supplemental provisions as appear to the appropriate Minister expedient for the purposes of the scheme) for the words `for the purposes of the scheme' there shall be substituted 'including transitional provisions treating as having been done under or in pursuance of the scheme anything done under or in pursuance of a previous scheme '.
§ Mr. MackieI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
The purpose and effect of the Amendment is to avoid possible difficulty in paying grant under the Farm Amalgamations and Boundary Adjustments Scheme at the increased rate of 60 per cent. in accordance with the Annual Review announcement. The effect of the Amendment is to make it possible for approval of amalgamation proposals given under the existing amalgamation scheme to be treated as an approval of an amalgamation under the new scheme, which it is proposed should contain provisions for the additional rate of grant.
§ Question put and agreed to.
