HC Deb 24 October 1972 vol 843 c1144

Lords Amendment: No. 254, in page 12, line 30, leave out "prescribed body" and insert: body prescribed for the purposes of those sections and".

Mr. Graham Page

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment. Perhaps it will be convenient also to discuss Amendments Nos. 255 and 256.

These Amendments explain the meaning of the prescribed bodies in Clause 172. A body may be prescribed for two reasons under the Clause: either as one to which the provisions of Clauses 168 to 170 refer—that is, payment for attendance, financial loss, travelling, and subsistence allowance—or as one on which the performance of duties can be regarded as approved duties. The purpose of the Amendments is to show that because a body is included in one set of prescribed bodies it cannot be excluded for that reason from prescription in the other set.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
