§
Lords Amendment: No. 29, in page 86, line 49, at end insert—
3A.—(1) For the purposes of paragraph 10(2) of Schedule 1 to the Contracts of Employment Act 1963 and section 13(1) of the Redundancy Payments Act 1965 (which relate to changes of ownership of businesses), there shall be deemed to be transferred to the Authority on the appointed day the business of any body which by virtue of section 27(1) of this Act is to cease or has ceased to have functions conferred on it in pursuance of
1517
section 7 of the Civil Aviation Act 1949; and a body whose business is deemed for those purposes to be transferred by virtue of this paragraph shall on the appointed day be deemed for the purposes of the said section 13(1) to terminate in connection with the transfer its contracts of employment with persons employed by it immediately before the appointed day.
(2) In the application of the preceding subparagraph to Northern Ireland, for the reference to the said Act of 1963 and the references to section 13(1) of the said Act of 1965 there shall be substituted respectively a reference to the Contracts of Employment and Redundancy Payments Act (Northern Ireland) 1965 and references to section 23(1) of the last-mentioned Act.
§ Mr. NobleI beg to move. That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
Subparagraph (1) of the new paragraph ensures that service of employees of the Air Registration Board who are later in the employment of the Civil Aviation Authority counts as continuous with service with the Authority for the purpose of the Contracts of Employment Act, 1963, and the Redundancy Payments Act, 1965. I am sure that the House will agree that this is right.
§ Question put and agreed to.
