HC Deb 24 October 1972 vol 843 c1002

Lords Amendment: No. 92, in page 247, line 15, leave out "section 44(4) and (5)" and insert: sections 44(4) and (Temporary appointment of members of parish and community councils)."

Mr. Carlisle

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this Amendment we are to discuss Lords Amendments Nos. 95, 99–101, 102, 103 and 126.

Mr. Carlisle

Lords Amendments Nos. 92, 99–101, 102 and 126 are drafting Amendments. They deal with parish and community councils, spelling out the power of a district council to fill casual vacancies in those councils.

Lords Amendments Nos. 95 and 103 are technical Amendments, merely taking account of the establishment of community councils in Wales and the fact that elections for district, parish and community councils will in future be regulated by rules made under Clause 42.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
