HC Deb 12 April 1972 vol 834 cc1369-70

MINOR AND CONSEQUENTIAL AMENDMENTS OF TELEVISION ACT 1964

Mr. Chataway

I beg to move Amendment No. 62, in page 11, line 42, column 2 after 'Authority', insert 'in the first place where it occurs'. The word "Authority" occurs twice in Section 13(1)(a) of the Television Act. The Amendment is simply to clear up an ambiguity which arose from that fact. I can assure the House that with this last deft touch the Bill is in perfect condition.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: No. 64, in page 13, line 1, column 2 after '(1)' insert: 'before the definition of "broadcast relay station" there shall be inserted the words"'associate' in relation to a body corporate (including a programme contractor which is a body corporate) means a body corporate which is a member of the same group as that body corporate; and for this purpose any two bodies corporate are to be treated as members of the same group if one of them is a body corporate of which the other is a subsidiary (within the meaning of section 154 of the Companies Act 1948) or if both of them are subsidiaries (within the meaning of that section) of one and the same body corporate" and'.—[Mr. Chataway.]
