HC Deb 22 October 1973 vol 861 c920

Lords Amendment: No. 99, in page 205, line 27, at end insert: In section 29(4) (application of Act to tidal waters), the words from "subject" onwards shall cease to have effect.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Miss Harvie Anderson)

It will be convenient to take at the same time Lords Amendment No. 173, in Schedule 28, page 291, line 35, at end insert: In section 29(4), the words from "subject" onwards.

Mr. Campbell

These amendments amend Section 29(4) of the Rivers (Prevention of Pollution) (Scotland) Act 1951 by repealing the modification that references to councils of counties and large burghs shall include references to river purification boards, which is unnecessary.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords amendment agreed to.
