HC Deb 17 June 1971 vol 819 cc665-6
Mr. Sharples

I beg to move Amendment No. 56, in page 18, line 38, at end insert: 'and the way in which a notice is to be or may be given '. This Amendment is intended to make it clear that the power to make regulations about notices of decision includes power to specify the way in which a notice may be given. It was not entirely clear from the present wording of Clause 18(1) that the regulations may provide for notice to be given to a solicitor or other representative acting on behalf of a person affected by a decision; or where a decision affects a child, for notice to be given to a parent or guardian. These are obviously common sense provisions and it is desirable to include them in the regulations. The Amendment will allow the necessary flexibility.

Amendment agreed to.
