HC Deb 20 July 1972 vol 841 c1042

LOCAL LICENCE DUTIES

Mr. Graham Page

I beg to move Amendment No. 724, in page 149, line 11, leave out 'subsections (1) and (2)' and insert 'sub-section (1)'.

With this Amendment I think it may be convenient to take Amendment No. 725. We found that in amending the Dog Licences Act, 1959, to bring it into line with the Bill, we had licensed dogs within the common council of the City of London rather than the geographical area of the City. The Amendment now corrects this canine inconsistency.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: No. 725, in page 149, line 15, at end add: 'and in subsection (2) of that section for the words "counties and county boroughs" there shall be substituted the words "districts and London boroughs and the City of London" '.—[Mr. Graham Page.]
