HC Deb 20 February 1973 vol 851 cc384-5
Mr. Emery

I beg to move Amendment No. 1, in page 4, line 17, leave out from 'Grants' to 'shall' in line 18 and insert: 'made under that section in respect of any financial year of the Board'. This is a clarifying amendment, promised to the Standing Committee by my hon. Friend the Minister of State, Welsh Office. It clarifies the wording of the Bill, something which we non-lawyers like to achieve in legislation. It makes clear that the 50 per cent. limit is applicaable not only up to March 1976 but in any year in which grants may be made under the clause. It is, of course, in connection with pit closures.

Amendment agreed to.
