HC Deb 19 June 1973 vol 858 c538
Mr. Gordon Campbell

I beg to move Amendment No. 142, in page 85, line 35, leave out from beginning to 'for' in line 39 and insert:

  1. '(1) Regional water boards established under the Water (Scotland) Act 1967 are hereby dissolved and their functions are hereby transferred to water authorities.
  2. (2) Subject to subsection (3) below, the water authority for any area shall be the regional or islands council for that area.
  3. (3)'.
This is a drafting amendment to make it clear that regional water boards will cease to exist when their functions are transferred to the new water authorities and that the new water authority for any area will be the regional or islands council for that area subject to the special "added area" arrangements in certain areas.

Amendment agreed to.

Forward to
