Lords Amendment: No. 400, in page 169, line 30, at end insert
other than the City and the Temples".
§ Mr. CarlisleI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
I understand that it is convenient to take Lords Amendment No. 401 with this Amendment.
The purpose of Lords Amendment No. 400 is merely to make it clear that in the Clause "Greater London" does not include the City and the Temple.
Lords Amendment No. 401 abolishes the requirements in Section 5 of the Coroners Act, 1844, that a county coroner shall reside in his district or in some place wholly or partly surrounded by his district, or not more than two miles beyond the boundary of his district. This provision could cause difficulties in assigning coroners to districts under subsection (4), which requires the new county councils to divide their areas into coroners' districts. It can be dispensed with now that modern means of travel have reduced its value.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
