§ The Lord Advocate (Mr. Norman Wylie)I beg to move Amendment No. 14, in page 14, line 18, leave out first 'made' and insert 'having effect'.
I explained in Committee that Clause 16(2)(b) sought to re-enact for the pur- 1640 poses of Scotland the provisions of Clause 14(7), for certain reasons which I explained. There was one respect in which the subsection did not comply with the provisions of Clause 14(7); namely the opening words
Nothing contained in or having effect under this Act".This is more than a drafting amendment. It goes further than simply bringing Clause 16(2)(b) into line with the provisions of Clause 14(7). It is necessary to cover the situation not only of what is done under the Bill but in respect of orders and directions given under powers conferred by the Bill when it becomes an Act.
§ Amendment agreed to.
